[Histonet] Frozen sections

[Leann M. Murphy]

Good morning,

I know all histotechs help cut and stain frozen sections.  Is there any organization  out there that has the histotechnician gross the frozen section tissue and place on the frozen section chuck to cut without the Pathologist in the room.  If anyone does this please tell me why?  And if your organization doesn't do this please tell me why.  I am having a debate with our Pathologists over this question.

Thank You,
