When I was training as a histologist in a very big hospital in Salt Lake
City, we turned up with a missing block.  I was blamed for this... because I
was new and the person blaming me had a big desire to see me fired (she
wanted her own  daughter in the lab instead).  This block... naturally...
was from a very important case and we needed it for a number of special
stains.   The day after the Big Hunt, by accident, my lab supervisor put on
my adversary's lab coat... and found the block in the pocket.
