[Histonet] RE: Histology trivia

[Mayer,Toysha N]

I remember an episode of CSI where the ME had a bowl of ice next to the body where he was doing an autopsy and cut the tissue right there.  A year after that the star did a series of promos for Lab week.  I guess the techs got on them about the scene.  They did however, show the sections being cut on an old AO (black of course), and the ME did the staining.
As a kid I loved Quincy, and it got me interested in science. When I talk to the baby boomers about my work, I do refer to Sam in the show.  
House had his interns cut and stain the tissue slides (go figure) with an AFB once.  Ridiculous!!

Count me in, Wanda!  After some of the long hours I work, I probably wouldn't need makeup!

Quincy made derogatory remarks that anyone could do what Sam was doing.  Then a few of us complained and the next few episodes promoted us.  I think I'll talk to my walking ATL connections and see if we can get histotechs back in the limelight.  Maybe on "walking dead"?

Good thing the writers were on the other side of the country at that time.  But hey I have mellowed since then.  All will agree that medical shows take license with truth and reality in view of the almighty $$$$$$$.
