[Histonet] H&E Staining question

[Jay Lundgren]

Obviously, you're going to get a much different result using a
polychromatic stain, than by doing a standard H&E.  But if the pathologists
like it...

I'm not even sure if they could call that stain an H&E in their dictation.
Seems like that would open them up to liability if, God forbid, they ever
missed something.

I can just hear the medical malpractice attorney now, "You did what?  And
you decided on this stain based on what?  Here's what our expert witness
found when he stained sections of this block with H&E, and here's what your
protocol shows."  Worse case scenario, I know, but there's a reason old
school pathologists are so hidebound.
