When I worked as a Pathologist assistant at CCF we were always to receive, document, gross in path lab and then release them to the patient. Hope this helps.

Do you ever see these placentas - are they sent to Pathology for exam before being returned to the patient or is the placenta given directly to the patient in L&D?
