[Histonet] Frozen Sections

[Jeffrey Robinson]

I worked in a hospital Histology Department years ago and the histotechs did everything except orient the specimen and read the slide.  The group I work for now perform all of their own frozens.  I still cut ORO controls on the cryostat but that's about it.  I do have some concerns that the younger histo staff members have ZERO experience with frozens.  It's a problem if a pathologist does ask for some assistance when there is an issue (especially with troubleshooting a cryostat).

As long as there is a Histotech on duty we cut, stain and coverslip all  the frozens, after hours the Pathologists do their own.

We have 4 Pathologist and all four cut their own FS's.  Two will stain and coverslip them themselves and two request assistance with staining and coverslipping.  We label and set-up the cassette and slides.

Hi, I need to ask Histoland a question....How many HT departments provide assistance to the pathologist in the performance of frozen sections (cutting and staining of slides) to be evaluated by the pathologist?   Thank you very much in advance!
