[Histonet] Gastric biopsies

[Brandi Higgins]

We do Diff Quik on all gastric biopsies, and we do Alcian Blue on all
esophageal biopsies with Barrett's indicated by the GI Dr.  Our other
special stains are by request, but we almost always end up doing retic and
trichrome on liver bx submitted with hepatitis as Clinical Dx.  Hope this
helps.
