Our pathologists hate this stuff, and I am not using language that is too
strong.  We have one account that insists on sending its GI biopsies in
Hollande's.  It gets everywhwere in the gross room and the docs say it
doesn't fix worth a darn.  We tried to talk the clinician into anything
else, but he said NO!  It's  a wierd situation, but he won't change and our
docs consider themselves stuck.

Hi Histonetters;

The lab I am now at is considering switching from B-5 fixative to Hollande's
fixative for G.I. biopsies.  They would like to get some feedback from other
institutions that are employing this fixative.  Please forward any responses
to Lorraine Smallwood, email address-LSmallwo@Juno.com

Thanks,
John
