Mick, I'm just glad you're around!!! Tits are highly overrated. I'm an ass man myself so if they start talking assectomy, let me know.

Karen recently had a situation that could have evolved into something but didn't and only because of what she does did she know what was amiss. Karen is the lead histology tech in a large hospital lab. Histology prepares the tissue for diagnosis by a pathologist who reports the findings to the case doctor. When results came back she saw them first. The doctor's explanation didn't match the facts......We have since changed Ob-gyn's.

Docs routinely do not take enough tissue in many biopsies. Then the procedure known as "Grosssing" can be poorly done by the pathologist who will also often misload the cassette that the tissue remains in through the processing procedure.   Therefore, when it's cut, stained, and mounted on a slide, what is seen is not necessarily what is there. Then the pathos bitch at the techs for screwing it up.......Karen works a little differently as when she encounters the problem, she stops the processing and writes up the pathologist instead!!!   This has led to fewer problems in diagnosis and I really admire her for standing up to the pathologists involved (M.D. stands for Major Deity).

In any case, there are so many possiblities for error all along the line that when you combine it with a bad doc to begin with...............Well, I feel for you.

Keep me informed on the assectomy........
