[Histonet] Average number of slides reviewed by a surgical pathologist

[Vickroy, James]

I realize this is a question that may be impossible to answer given all of the variables in pathology labs, specimens, physicians, etc.  However here goes:  For those that work in a lab that primarily does biopsies ( mainly gi biopsies) what is the average number of slides that a pathologist reads each day.    I have looked online for parameters recommended however I haven't had a whole lot of luck.  There are plenty of figures on numbers of blocks and slides for histotechs but just wondered if anyone was using any either national benchmarks or local practices.
