Re: GROSS!

From:JOE NOCITO

Melissa,
the more experienced tech gross what they feel comfortable with.  I'll gross gallbladder, appendix, amputations, cervical cones, skin biopsies (shave, punch, excisional), GI, prostate, cervical, endometrial biopsies.  Some of my techs only gross the small biopsies.  I'll gross amputations, but I do not feel comfortable grossing whole organs such as uterus, prostate, colon, lung.  My pathologist will teach and certify us as the need arises.  All we have to do is ask.

How many of us Histotechs are doing gross?
What are you limited to concerning specimens you gross in?
                Thanks for your help!
