Subject: [Histonet] Cold ischemic times

This is more of a survey than a question:
For those of you tracking and documenting your cold ischemic times for breast 
tissue (ie time out of body to time sliced [as needed] and immersed in 
formalin), and I assume most of you are...*what is your average time?*
*Background:*
*I ask because my director was looking for suggestions for quality indicators 
to report and while I feel like our cold ischemic average time is impressive at 
~17 mins, she says that is pretty standard for everyone.*
Thanks,
Greg

When I first saw the title of your email I thought it was
a publication OR a commentary on The Era.

New York Times
Cold Ischemic Times
Global Times
Los Angeles Times.

It was the worst of times
it was the best of times
Man, these are such cold ischemic times,

(Brother, can you paradigm?)

We never knew what time it was
but we knew how sublime it was.
