[Histonet] release of body parts

[John Garratt]

I suggest that path labs start a discussion with Risk Management team and lawyers to get advice on the tease of tissues to patients.
The uterus in the landfill or the gallbladder at school “show and tell” will be sure to get your legal department on edge and the lab’s name in the local paper.
When everybody is stretched to the limit to provide pathology should you also be providing a souvenir service when there is a perfectly good gift shop in the hospital?
Having a process in place, like using a funeral home with a lab fee attached tends to sort out those who just want something to shows their pals at the coffee shop.
