Cristi Rigazio asks: I was wondering if there are any tertiary institutions
out there that have set a benchmark for reprocessing tissue?  We tend to be
less than 1%, but would love to see what others think is reasonable.<<

This grumpy old pathologist sez: If I'm the one doing the grossing, I don't
expect to see any reprocessing. I can't remember having had a block
reprocessed, or having one that needed it after I learned how to gross
around 50 years ago. Make your pathologists cut it right!
