[Histonet] Need better results from older archival slides?
Hello, Having problems getting good Immuno staining and in-situ hybridization results with older slides? I am writing to see if histonet can suggest any scientists who may be interested in helping us with a study related to a slide rejuvenation process we are developing. We think we have found a way to significantly improve the antigenicity of proteins in older archival FFPE preserved slides. Initial tests seem to indicate that our process can allow slides of 5-10 years age, possibly older, to respond to IHC analysis as if they were cut that day. The process may have additional uses and benefits too, including better preservation of cut sections, enhanced ISH results, stabilization of labile proteins and standardization / optimization of IHC staining protocols. We are excited about this development, but we are seeking some independent labs to help us verify our findings. Please feel free to call me to discuss, or pass on this email to any investigators you may know of who are exploring ways to make better use of older archival slides.

Re: [Histonet] 88305TC starting to hit the fan...
Because there is a huge shortage of primary care docs as it is, which will only get worse when millions of uninsured people suddenly have insurance. So I guess they are trying to entice more med students into primary care. There is a push to train more physician's assistants too As it is, the top medical students want to go into something like radiology or dermatology so they can work banker's hours and make 5x as much money as a PCHP, and who can blame them? I friend of mine who is a radiology tech saw a locum radiologist's pay stub left on the fax machine (by accident), and said radiologist makes $280./hr. Jay A.

[Histonet] 88305
I am in the middle of the biggest cost study because we need to reevaluate the cost of our work. We have no expectation of keeping any derm clients after the change in the 88305. They will go elsewhere to get a slightly better price than here in California. This is depressing on many levels. 1. Lay-offs 2. Inferior quality (we are VERY proud of our work) 3. TAT nightmares. 4. Where does that leave our true client ( THE PATIENT)? Furthermore I may be out of a job (last 35 years) and the pathologists may farm out our surgical work too. How does this impact your Histology laboratory?

Re: [Histonet] 88305TC starting to hit the fan...
While this stinks on many levels, I have to take issue with the shift wealth from specialists to family practice - family practice docs have been the frontline of medicine, all the while earning less than a quarter of what specialists earn. It's about time they get a boost. Too many specialists earn over a million a year, while the family practice guys/ladies can barely pay their student loans.

Re: [Histonet] 88305TC starting to hit the fan...
Sure they want more physicians. My husband was forced to leave medical school when he became sick (they wouldn't give him a medical leave of absence). No other medical school would touch him after that. They thought something was fishy, his transcript reads medical leave of absence which wasn't true. The other shcools can't figure out why the school he was in wouldn't take him back. If he wanted to retake the MCAT and apply cold, they told him he could do that. Medicine is a self limiting profession. The AMA determines how many doctors are availabe to keep a limited resource, limited. Thus the $280/hour radiologist. You leave with close to $200,000 in debt if attending a private school. Primary care pays, in most regions, under $100,000/yr. When you have that kind of debt, lower paying primary care jobs aren't enticing. My bitter two cents.

[Histonet] Need parts for old equipment
Hello all - I have been volunteering in a lab with very old equipment. Although I was able to find 2 processors, they have both died. We do not have the money to buy even a used processor, so I am looking for refurbished parts. I am hoping there are some vendors out there who have parts that we need or if there is a lab with a processor that works that they don't want we might be able to pay shipping. I have a VIP 3000 and need a motor, gear head, bearing washer and roller washer. The other processor is a Tissue-Tek II (c. 1983). I think I need a optoelectronic switch. Any help any one of you can give me, contact me personally.

Hmmm...I think more people should have paid attention to Obamacare two years ago when it was being shoved down eveyones throat. Oh well.. as old saying goes...You ain't seen nottin' yet! I'm just amazed that there are so many in the profession who are surprised about the changes beginning to take place, there are many, many more to come in 2013 14 and all of them affect your job or lack thereof. :) Everyone had the opportunity to change things on November 6th - they chose not to. So, you live with it.
