A pathologist who would like to remain anonymous sent this to me....
Let me quote a phrase or two:
"The problem falls with the...pathologists and others...that think they
know what it takes to do a job that they themselves know very little about."
Say Amen!
The histotechnologists with whom I am lucky enough to work, and to have
worked, do a beautiful job IN SPITE OF all kinds of hurdles, many of which
could be lowered, if not eliminated, if I and other pathologists knew more
about histotechnology. When things DON'T go right, ninety-nine per cent.
of the time it's because of something done at the cut-in bench.
If I could consistently do as good a job, as a pathologist, as my
colleagues in histotechnology do, as histotechnologists, I'd be a MUCH
better pathologist.
And I'm happy to let histotechnologists do THEIR job without putting my oar
in.
