[Histonet] RE: Questions

[Kristen Lauing]

Shirley and Amy and others responding to this thread: thanks for your posts.
I am not in the histotechnology field - I'm actually a graduate student at Loyola who does her own processing, cutting, and staining of bone tissue - so I really appreciate every so-called "dumb question", no matter how simple, since I have never been formally trained in the field.  I assumed this was a great forum to safely ask those kinds of questions to advance my graduate student research.  I'm learning new details about histology every day just by reading posts by helpful people like you.  

Thanks & have a great week,
Kristen

Amy, 

You do not need to apologize for asking a question to which you did not know the answer.  This is an educational avenue, for histology, and there is no such thing as a "stupid" question if you need answers to solve a problem.  

Those of us who teach know questions are important, even if you think you know the answer but not exactly sure, or in your case you knew but needed documented verification from others in the field.  I hope your fellow workers and supervisors got the message and please feel free to ask.  There are those in the field who feel this is a social network for experts and that is okay too, but the real reason NSH and histosearch was started was to expand knowledge of the histology community and to improve our profession.  Remembering when histology was in the basement and no one knew we were there, it makes me proud of the progress we have made in the 48 years I have been in the field.  

Keep asking and share what you know, no need for apologies.

Shirley

Subject: [Histonet] Questions

I originally asked my questions because I *knew* it was being done
incorrectly and no one @ my workplace believed me when I tried to show
them the way I was taught/trained-as stated in my original post.

Regardless, it never occurred to me that my questions were something
that would be met with "oh no" or "oh my gosh" - I feel as though I
should apologize for my "stupid" question.....

 

However, thank you, to those who responded with your procedures. I'm
making a great case based on what we know!

 

Have a good week!
