I thought Histonet was a primary source of "hacks"?
Obviously...not.
I have many hacks, as many others do, too...
Have to admit that Histonet is rather Conservative/lazy

Eg: In Images....there's a potential MASSIVE catalogue so, why do you not add your images to the Histonet archive???
Histonet image archive should be better/bigger than ANY other Dye/IHC/IF archive?

It should be, as is HPA/Gensat/Allen , a REFERENCE
Sigh, it is not.....
....yet.
?Or , I am wrong?
Please tell me
Carl

Terri L. Braud, HT(ASCP), Anatomic Pathology Supervisor at Holy Redeemer
Hospital in Meadowbrook PA notes:

>>Our policy calls for wiping of forceps with gauze between cases at gross
and at embedding. At gross, we use a disposable absorbent lined pad on the
cutting board for each larger case, and just a fresh c-fold paper towel
between small biopsy cases. We do not allow double-dipping of swabs into
ink, but instead, pour out small amounts into a large plastic weigh boat
which is also discarded after the case. We use disposable safety scalpels,
with a 70 blade (love 'em) for each case. For excessively bloody/fatty
cases, we put the dirty forceps into an enzyme pre-soak (Aseptizyme) to
remove all tissue debris. Then they are scrubbed with a brush, then rinsed
in a disinfectant before being re-used.<<

I've never seen a pathology service (and I've worked in 80 of them) do any
of these things, all of them good ideas. I'm glad to see the CAP taking the
issue up. Carry-overs from case to case are common, particularly when the
grosser is overworked and working too fast. I've never seen a serious error
made as a result of such contamination, but I've seen a few close calls.

Terri Braud, could you copy us the actual text in the CAP inspection form?
