All the histonetters that work in a hospital lab setting, I have a question
about how many techs are employed in relation to your workload. I work in
a hospital lab that has approximately 20,000 cases a year. We average about
70-85 biopsy blocks a day and roughly 180-200 surgical blocks. We are
responsible for accessioning specimens, logging the specimens, cleaning up in
our grossing room after the resident pathologists, processing, embedding,
cutting, routine staining,manual coverslipping, special staining and
automated immuno staining(which we rotate a week at a time 1 person on
specials, 1 person on immunos), preparing cell blocks, all filing of blocks
and slides, and also packing and mailing out all consult cases. We have 5
general techs and 1 head tech, who is responsible for all ordering and QA/QC
paperwork and also does bench work. How does this compare to your
labs???? Thanks
