[Histonet] RE: Assisting with Autopsies (UNCLASSIFIED)

Caveats: NONE

Many years ago when we did autopsies here, the Histotechs helped. We were more like a pair of extra hands but that can be most helpful to the pathologist. We are a military hospital and some of the active duty Medical Techs liked to come and help us out. We closed our autopsy suite in the mid 1990's since we were performing only 4-6 autopsies per year. If we have need for an autopsy, they are performed at the VA hospital here. They are a large hospital with their own denier.

All in all, it was a great experience but not something that I really miss doing.

Thanks,

Subject: [Histonet] Assisting with Autopsies

Hello All,

We are small hospital that does approximately 5-10 autopsies a year.  This being said our administration department does not want to hire a denier to assist with these autopsies. So I have decided to turn to all of you out there in histoland for a little poll.

Does your facility use histotechs or a diener to assist with the autopsy?

Thanks in advance for all of your help, Amy
