[Histonet] Music in the lab

[Amos Brooks]

Hi,
   I am in the same boat as those that would go nuts without music. I have
noticed that I cut a *heck* of a lot faster with music than without. It's a
rhythm thing, I can't really explain it. I really can sympathize with those
that can't tolerate certain types of music though. Having one tech happy
and another with a headache is not helpful or productive. Not everyone will
agree on good music though, so you need to try to be versatile and share
the air.
   For open air music (not personal music with headphones) I like to stick
to music that would be played on popular radio stations. That way the FCC
can determine what's appropriate. Admittedly that's a bit risky if you have
been following the court case about indecency fines, but that leads us to
politics and that's likely to draw fire as well. Neutrality is best, NPR
works well there. Radiolab was a great suggestion! Thanks for that. If
anyone has other good podcasts, please share.
   I like headphones, but if it interferes with communication or
productivity it's gotta go. I don't like repeating myself and it is just
rude to everyone around you.

Re: [Histonet] Music in the Laboratory

[Kim Donadio]

I agree with what you say Andi.  Music is a great stress reliever as well. Ive 
always let the group decide if they are all willing to tolerate other kinds of 
music to be fair. I always ask them to try to keep it clean. Don't want to 
offend 
With that being said. I myself have had to tone it down because I love me some 
disco music:).  

Yes, ring my bell and shake your groove thing lol

Without further silliness. Music is great in the lab if you can get the people 
to agree on compromise.if you have someone you know is very strict and you know 
Katy perrys I kissed a girl song is going to send them over the edge.  Don't do 
it. Let them use headphones. Because you wouldn't want someone claiming 
harassment.

RE: [Histonet] Music in the Laboratory

[Tony Henwood (SCHN)]

I suppose naughty words have appeared in songs for years (Chuck Berry's "My 
Ding-a-ling" must have been a little riskie - or is it just my FF (formalin 
fixed) mind!) 

We often have the radio on and one day the staff, especially the young ones, 
thought I was "quite hip!" as I was bopping along to a song that seemed to 
contain naughty words. Fortunately I had no idea what the words to the song 
were (I needed sub-titles) - and that seems to be the case with most of them 
now.

My hearin is probably shot from too much Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and ACDC 
anyway!!

Regarding the offensive language, many institutions have policies that address 
the use of inappropriate language. You may find it in something like a 
"Workplace Harassment/Violence" policy. We too do not permit ear buds or 
headphones for the same reason.

Hi All,
Our lab is governed by hospital regulations that no headphones or earbuds be 
worn at anytime. This is considered a safety issue. We do have policies 
governing codes for behavior such as dress, hygiene, innappropriate computer 
use such as streaming music or social media but music is something they allow 
idividual departments to dictate. Our lab has decided to allow desk top radios 
to be played. I have a few techs that like to listen to talk radio or music so 
they each have their individual radios set so low that only they can hear it. I 
think if everyone had their own radio it would be insane but a couple is not 
too bad. If it were to become distracting or a nusance, I would ban them 
completely. We are not in a patient traffic area but we do get a lot of outside 
visitors walking thru such as Resident's interviewing or clinicians. One must 
always consider patient care first and foremost and if music is offensive to 
you because of language then it probably is offensive to others as well. I 
think you should never have to endure music that is offensive in anyway. Jazz 
makes me crazy. My question to you would be, do you have a policy that stating 
that music is allowed? Best of luck to you.
Christie

[Histonet] Dorothy's music question

[Cheryl]

Hi Dorothy-
 
Yes, those who manage the lab have the right and responsibility to control the 
environment and make it conducive to good work practices. Please also consider 
the other side -- the techs who do work better with a little music (some of 
us ADD-prone bench folks).
 
 
If you're in a high-volume lab and have a bunch of smart techs, sometimes music 
keeps the 'drama' down.  Put a bunch of smart techs on a highly repetitive 
bench and we find ways to entertain ourselves!  Music can help by keeping a 
not-fully-occupied brain entertained.  By limiting the open area radio stations 
to those without cuss-words and making volume levels 'personal' or allowing one 
ear-bud (not two: you have to be able to hear the work around you!!) is one 
way.  Having a rotation of who gets to pick the radio station (taking turns) 
and having a universal policy is another.  Be sure to address those tasks that 
may be uber-repetitive but require high accuracy for which radios are a 
conflict such as dictation and specimen entry.
 Cutting off radios after they've been in place can be counter-productive. 
Another way is to ask your techs to come up with a policy that meets their 
wishes without compromising the needs of the work.  Sometimes they'll come up 
with answers that surprise and really do addresss the work related issues: one 
group came up with a common radio on during peak cutting times and off during 
transitional task times so those who like quiet got their time, too!

[Histonet] Replys to multiple items

[Stephen G. Ruby]

1.   Photo microscopy.if it's just for documentation, you may just be 
able to get by with taking a photo thru your ocular.  Try it by using a hand 
held digital camera with the focus set to "infinity" or "landscape mode".   
It's trial and error, but if it worksthen that is a really inexpensive 
option.

2.   Music in labs.I have always had music and encourage it.  However, 
it must be music that ALL people can enjoy and has NO offensive material.  If 
you can't agreethen headsets or nothing.  BTW...if you use headsets, the 
policy should include that the volume must be such that the user MUST be able 
to hear and respond to spoken communication at all times.  It's a safety issue.

3.   Billing question.   Inappropriate to answer. You may be in violation 
of federal law to discuss pricing.  My only suggestion...look at the medicare 
reimbursement schedule which is public record. You can look it up on google.

I got a pair of Bose speakers for the lab - I like to listen to quality sound 
while I work and we bring in ipods, phones, whatever.  But, everyone has the 
option of nixing any music selection at any time or opting for no music.  
Depends on the mood of the lab on any particular day.

Re: [Histonet] Music in the Laboratory

[Grantham, Andrea L - (algranth)]

Good Morning all,
I have worked in labs where music was played and loved it. Music keeps you 
going all morning and even in the mid-afternoon when you hit that "slump" time. 
If it is not inappropriate music or loud enough to be distracting when someone 
comes in with a question or when the phone rings I don't think it is a problem.
One of my pathologists always listened to conservative talk radio and turned me 
on to it so being as how I'm lucky to usually be the only one in my lab I've 
become a talk radio junkie when I'm not listening to a novel on my iPod.

Re: [Histonet] Music in the Laboratory

[Jan Shivers]

Our policy is that if a radio station is to be played in the lab, the
choice has to be a unanimous one of everyone working in the lab, it cannot
be talk radio (prone to political leanings), it has to play appropriate
music for work setting, and it has to be turned down low enough to almost
not be audible.  Personal iPods with only ONE earbud used is preferable to
a room radio station.

the use of inappropriate language. You may find it in something like a 
"Workplace Harassment/Violence" policy. We too do not permit ear buds or 
headphones for the same reason.

Hi All,
Our lab is governed by hospital regulations that no headphones or earbuds be 
worn at anytime. This is considered a safety issue. We do have policies 
governing codes for behavior such as dress, hygiene, innappropriate computer 
use such as streaming music or social media but music is something they allow 
idividual departments to dictate. Our lab has decided to allow desk top radios 
to be played. I have a few techs that like to listen to talk radio or music so 
they each have their individual radios set so low that only they can hear it. I 
think if everyone had their own radio it would be insane but a couple is not 
too bad. If it were to become distracting or a nusance, I would ban them 
completely. We are not in a patient traffic area but we do get a lot of outside 
visitors walking thru such as Resident's interviewing or clinicians. One must 
always consider patient care first and foremost and if music is offensive to 
you because of language then it probably is offensive to others as well. I 
think you should never have to endure music that is offensive in anyway. Jazz 
makes me crazy. My question to you would be, do you have a policy that stating 
that music is allowed? Best of luck to you.

Re: [Histonet] Music in the Laboratory

[Emily Sours]

I am lucky enough to work in a closed lab setting so we can play whatever,
until the boss comes in (she can't concentrate with music on).  If I
couldn't listen to something while sectioning, I think I might die of
boredom.  But forcing other people to listen to your music is never good,
even when you're with friends.  If everyone doesn't like it, pick something
that everyone does like.
I suggest radiolab--it's a fun podcast where you can actually learn
something new about science while enjoying yourself.  Plus it it doesn't
have politics! My favorite episode is Lost and Found, it's the first one I
heard, and I love it.  But I suggest you start with Oops, that one was
amazing.
http://www.radiolab.org/
Any other podcasts that are science related and fun?
(No politics please!)

Emily

The whole point of this country is if you want to eat garbage, balloon up
to 600 pounds and die of a heart attack at 43, you can! You are free to do
so. To me, that’s beautiful.

RE: [Histonet] Quenching auto fluorescence in human tissue

[WILLIAM DESALVO]

I have not used "Chicago Blue" (Inoticed the product is discontinued by Sigma 
Aldrich) for quenching, but have often used "Evans Blue" (synonym: Direct Blue 
53; Empirical Formula: C34H24N6Na4O14S4 ;Molecular Weight: 960.81;CAS Number: 
314-13-6) without any issue. Sigma Aldrich sells the Evans Blue is solution 
(>75% dye content). You might want to give the Evans Blue a try (product # 
E2129).

Subject: Rapid MART-1 procedure
To: "histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu" 


Hi All! I work for a busy Mohs surgeon that wants to start doing a rapid
MART-1 (Melan-A) immunostain with our melanoma cases.  Does anyone have any
suggestions/protocols/vendor names to help me get started?  I'm starting
from the ground up here, we don't currently do any immuno stains.  We will
be doing the stains on frozen sections, and they will be done manually.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

RE: [Histonet] Music in the Laboratory

[Heckford, Karen - SMMC-SF]

I could not work with out music.  Nothing like cutting to the rhythm of good 
music.  I have it on all the time or I would go nuts and probably fall asleep.  
I set my radio to one radio station.  I am the Chief Cook and bottle washer so 
no one to bother with the music.   If someone wants to play hard core obscene 
music let them put it on their Ipod so not everyone can here it.  I would make 
a rule that they have to be able to hear if someone is talking to them.

RE: [Histonet] Music in the Laboratory

[Podawiltz, Thomas]

I have always allowed music to play at work usually left on a radio station 
since it will keep us updated on the day's information and leave the more 
offensive language out. I bought the department a system that will play cd and 
iPods'. The only rule is while playing our iPods', the songs with the strong 
language must be skipped.

It would be fine, if there could be found a compromise. We have the radio on
during cutting time, but it is quiet enough not to "overblow" work. And in
the minutes nobody talks it is quite amousing to listen daily infos and
music.
And yes, also for me it would be a pain to listen to "hard" music at work
all the time.
On the other hand, a pathologist in our department loves classic music at
the microscope. - that's also too much for me. ;)
