[Histonet] Blade Rationing

[Susan.Walzer <@t> HCAHealthcare.com]

You need to tell your manager that you cannot do your job without proper tools. Only the tech cutting knows how many blades he or she needs to cut a days work. These micro managers need to do some bench work and get a reality check. Unbelievable!

>From a managers point of view, whoin my opinion that is a poor way to try to cut expenses. It will only lead to recuts and possible loss of important tissue. For the techs to understand the necessity to conserve is important but the tech needs to use their discretion as to when a blade needs changing.
