[Histonet] RE: working on Saturday

[Terri Braud]

We are a 242 bed hospital with a very active maternity unit and a huge
women's health service.  We get approx 10,000 cases/year. We find no
advantage to working on Saturdays with the exception of a STAT cytology
for an inhouse patient. Also, with the new recommended fixation times
for breasts, we no longer even have one person for that little bit of
Saturday coverage.
There was not one peep from any physicians.  Even when I used to manage
a hospital lab twice the size, we did not cover Saturdays.
