Dear Colleagues:

I believe Histonet had information on this subject before, but I didn't
take good notes.  I need to evaluate staffing in our Histology and
Immunopathology Laboratories.  It is my impression that we are severely
understaffed and I need to convince our administration that we need to hire
more people before "the ship sinks".   I have numbers regarding FTEs,
surgical and autopsy accessions, blocks processed, slides cut, H&E-stained
slides, histochemical stains, immunoperoxidase slides, immunofluorescence
cases, etc.  Where do I go from here?
