<DIV>I have a question for all the hospital based histo personnel, but first
some background:</DIV>
<DIV>Our facility employ a gentleman as a lab aide who makes cassettes and
accessions surgical specimens. He also is trained and does the work of an
autopsy technician, assisting the pathologist at autopsy. None of my histotechs
are trained to do this, even though watching an autopsy and assisting at them
was part of their training to get their ACP. When our lab aid is
off, our PA does the post. The question came up :what if the lab aid & the
PA is off and an autopsy comes up, what then? What does the rest of the world
do?<BR>Thanks for your input. Have a happy Thanksgiving holiday</DIV>
