I have all the current indications for doing a placental exam.  Thank you.

[Histonet] policy for return of specimens to patients (hardware, gallstones, placentas, etc)

[Garrey Faller via Histonet]

HI everyone,
Are any of you willing to share your policy?
It is not uncommon for a patient to request his/her gallbladder, stone, 
placentas, hardware.
Patients also rarely request their placentas to eat.
I believe patients to have rights to their tissues.
Thanks in  advance.

Re: [Histonet] Floor Choice Question, and blog post

[Boyd, Debbie M via Histonet]

There is a non-slip epoxy paint that is very durable.  There is also a textured 
flooring that is used in both histology labs and OR suites.   Neither is cheap 
but a lot less than legal repercussions.
We have the textured flooring in our lab.  Works great. A little harder to 
scrub, EVS uses a buffer and of course no wax.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Histonet] Floor Choice Question, and blog post

Good Morning from Frigid Chicago:

Our lab has the opportunity to do some badly needed painting, and also to make 
changes in the floor surfaces. We currently have vinyl in the clinical areas 
and carpeting in the offices. The carpeting will stay. Our decision is whether 
to swap out the vinyl or not. It is slippery, particularly for visitors coming 
from outside in the snow and sleet. We are working with the building management 
firm, but as of yet have not found a surface that is less slippery, but also is 
smooth enough to allow the maintenance people to scrape paraffin of the floor. 
Does anyone have any good flooring suggestions?

Also, what is the longest anyone has closed a lab for maintenance work?


In the vein of remodeling, a new blog post:
