We have the same problem.  Our pathologist can do a
uterus/tubes/ovaries in 5 blocks and it takes the PA
12.  Also our docs can do a placenta in 2 blocks and
the PA-4.  We have complained.  I have created a
report comparing like cases and the number of blocks
put through and this has gotten me nowhere.  So we
just cut, and leave it up to the pathologist to
complain about how many slides he is getting - then we
tell him to talk to the PA.
