[Histonet] Histology Professionals Day

[Nita Searcy]

I too "stumbled" into the profession in 1967 and share Sara's sentiments. 
I sent the following to our senior staff as well as the supervisory group of our laboratory:


Today is the first annual National Histotechnology day and is being celebrated by the histology staff by a morning breakfast ( in order that the entire staff can participate) and the  wearing  of special  t-shirts.  

In spite of almost total anonymity to most of the general public, as well as a considerable amount of health care professionals, these highly skilled individuals play a vital role in healthcare.

Wish them congratulations.

If it weren't for a med-tech-turned-pathologist that took me up on my
interest in becoming trained in histology (1967), I would not have just
marked my 41st year as a histologist.  Back then, you just had to have
OJT and study independently for your written and practical tests.  I had
no idea what I was getting into but it was one of the absolute best
choices I ever made.  To pretend to quote some baseball player,
"Histology been berry, berry good to me"!
