[Histonet] Control Block Tracking

[Breeden, Sara]

During a recent inspection of my department, the inspector "encouraged"
me to develop a method of tracking which control tissue I used for a
case (i.e., individually identifying the block and referencing that
identifier on the slide).  To be honest, I believe this to be overload,
but since I'm probably going to have to abide by that "encouragement",
I'd like to know if/how you identify which control block is used for a
special stain.  I can think of a simple method but wonder if any of you
have used a really spectacular method that just blew the inspecting
agency away.  I'd promptly plagiarize it!  Gracias!
