[Histonet] Freelance Histology

[Patsy Ruegg]

this may certainly not be on the up and up but I have heard about these kinds of operations for years, not sure how they can do it but I know of a lab that did clinical skin bx samples for years and years and I am sure they were not Clia/CAP/or even GLP, I guess since it is Histology all the responsibility lies with the Pathologist reading the slides, I never thought it was very kosher, at least for this one case it is not going on anymore, but it would not surprise me if there were Derm and GI labs all over not really accredited to be doing histology on human samples but they still do.

Cutting is one thing such as like control slides, but staining that’s a whole different thing, you will have chemical waste that needs to be disposed of properly.  You will need appropriate ventilation, etc.   Correct me if I am wrong but I don’t think you could be performing any clinical work, it would have to be research.  Even though you might be only one person I still think you are responsible for all applicable OSHA guidelines.  
 
Just my two cents.

Has  anyone heard of people cutting and staining slides out of your garage or some kind of similar set up, like picking up overflow from different companies /labs? I overheard a conversation about someone doing this in their retirement. Labs send them the block and all they do is cut and do HE stain and return both and bill? What kinds of regulations would that entail? I don't know if that could be true. Maybe for research facilities?
