Sorry, I think I have used the wrong word, but I am
not so good with English lab-idioms. I consider the cutting and describtion
of the encoming tissue-probes, the step before processing, is called
grossing?!
In our histo-lab the pathologists do the grossing
of all tissue, that has to be cut in any way. The histotechs put all small
biopsies (renal, gastro, lung, colon,..) in capsules. (We call it
"Biopsy-making" in spite of grossing by the doctor.)
I wonder, if this is the same in USA or other
states, or if histotechs are also allowed to do the grossing.

[Histonet] appropriate pay for grossing techs
Hi
Jen,
I dont have an answer for you, but
another question. In Austria the person, who does crossing, is a pathologist
(m.d.).
We have several sorts of tissue
f(rom toe to sculp) and I think without a medical uni-study, it is very
difficult. Even our doctors sometimes make mistakes and look over important
details.
Is it usual in USA,
that histotechs do the crossing?

[Histonet] appropriate pay for grossing
techs
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can
help me. I was wondering what the appropriate starting wage of a
grossing tech would be for a private path lab which works mainly on small
skin, gyn, and oral specimens and processes about 250 cases a day (between 2
grossers). Would the pay be any different if the employee had an
M.S. The position is entry-level. Thanks very much.
