[Histonet] Unregistered techs

[Jay Lundgren]

Question 1: Why do health care organizations NOT hire unlicensed Physicians?
Answer: Because of the maelstrom of malpractice suits, civil and criminal
laws they would be breaking, ruined careers, prison, orphaned children etc.

Question 2: Why do supervisors/lab managers hire "unregistered" (see
previous posts) histotechs?

Answer: Because they can pay them $12/hr instead of $30/hr.
              Many of them receive hefty bonuses for controlling costs.
              They get away with it.

The most brilliant Pathologist in the world could NEVER EVEN SEE a
malignancy that was rough cut away by an unqualified histotech.
