[Histonet] Slide distribution amongst Pathologists

2012-06-04 Thread Sheila Adey

Hello Netters:
I am looking for some ideas regarding slide distribution amongst pathologists.
Currently one Dr. reads all the surgicals and one other reads the cytology and 
bone marrows.
We now have 5 Dr.s and they are looking for ways to disperse the work evenly 
per day.
Thanks
:)

[Histonet] Cytology Guru

2012-06-04 Thread Amy Self
Happy Monday to everyone in Histoland,

I am looking for a cytology guru, especially one that deals with processing and 
staining of non-gyn cytologies.  If you are out there and don't mind me calling 
you please privately email me your contact information. We are having some 
processing and staining issues within our lab and I know that there has to be 
something easier out there than what we are doing, which is everything manually 
with non-gyn cytologies.  Thanks in advance for your help, Amy

The only way this will be worked out that everyone feels it is fair is
if the 5 Dr's set down and talk it out. That way everyone has their say
and input.

We divide the work up by trays and mark the number of trays on a dry erase 
board every day.  I have 3 1/2 (1 part time) Pathologist and each day one is 
Primary, one is secondary and then there is the Cytology/Frozen section 
Pathologist.  They rotate this each day.  When the Hemepath guy has a lot of BM 
slides, we give him less surgical trays.  They are great about helping each 
other out if one is super busy!!!

Re: [Histonet] Slide distribution amongst Pathologists

2012-06-04 Thread Grantham, Andrea L - (algranth)
Mike is right. You will never satisfy 5 pathologists by making the decision 
yourself. They have to collectively agree on how they want it done otherwise 
somebody will get bent out of shape because they think their portion on the 
work is greater than others and it is unfair. You could be at the meeting and 
make suggestions but they need to make the final decision.
