first thing this AM one of the techs drained the VIP processor, took a
basket of tissues out for embedding, temporarily went brain dead, and
started the "clean " cycle while 2 more baskets remained in the
processor.  What  a way to start the morning!  This is the first time
this happened, and i was a little unsure how to deal with it.  I assumed
the tissues had probably almost gone back to their original state and
reprocessed them (using a shorter cycle because of time constraints).
They seemed to section "just ok" (like underprocessed tissues).
Needless to say my planned 1/2 day turned into a day and a 1/2
Could i have done anything different (short of firing or maiming the
tech) to get better results under these circumstances??

thanks
jerry
