Re: TAT

From:"David A. Reynolds"

Are there techs working evenings/nights?  We are finding it very helpful if we have one or two techs on midnights embedding and cutting the biopsies, and then doing some of the embedding of the larger tissue.  Our caseload is about 30,000  per year.  All of our biopsies were labeled and handed out by 8:00 this morning, and the larger surgical cases were out by 9:30, although our goal is normally to have all larger cases out by 12:30.
