There was an article published in Advance, December 15, 1997, titled
     "Repetitive Motion Injuries" that discusses histology in depth.  I can
     fax you a copy of it if you can't find it.

A few years ago I was aware of debate in histology laboratories regarding
the repeditive stress injuries caused by continued use of microtomes, but
didn't keep any of the relevant literature. Can anyone refere me to relevant
literature or websites, or is there anyone who has suffered any repeditive
strain injuries.
I would love to hear from you so I can convince our pathologists that it
does exist. Thanks.
