Renee,

The histotechs used to do the order entry, until one day it dawned on me 
that we were busting our tails while the medical secretaries had a lot of 
time to sit around and talk, goof off, and flirt with the pathologists.  
Therefore, THEY got to do it!  Equal opportunity to do a full day's work.  
I'm all for delegating, if the opportunity arises.  Besides, they DO know 
how to type, too.  Histotechs are a superior breed, but we can't hog all the 
fun.  :-)

Bec the Tec
