<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Jen,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I dont have an answer for you, but another
question. In Austria the person, who does crossing, is a pathologist (m.d.).
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have several sorts of tissue f(rom toe to sculp)
and I think without a medical uni-study, it is very difficult. Even our doctors
sometimes make mistakes and look over important details.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it usual in USA, that histotechs do
the crossing?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>best wishes</FONT></DIV>

grossing techs</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> I'm hoping someone can help me. I was wondering what
the appropriate starting wage of a grossing tech would be for a private path
lab which works mainly on small skin, gyn, and oral specimens and processes
about 250 cases a day (between 2 grossers). Would the pay be any
different if the employee had an M.S. The position is entry-level.
Thanks very much. </DIV>
