We do the opposite. We keep a logsheet of stains done and just date the
control. We add PM to the afternoon batch so that we can tell which control
goes with what case.

	We batch our special stains and only run one control slide per
batch.
	When labeling the control slide we write all of the patient
accession
	numbers on the label.  BUT, is it required to include the date on
the
	control label???  The date (along with all of the other required
info)
	is recorded in our Special Stain/QC Log Book.
