Amy, 

You do not need to apologize for asking a question to which you did not know
the answer.  This is an educational avenue, for histology, and there is no
such thing as a stupid question if you need answers to solve a problem.  

Those of us who teach know questions are important, even if you think you
know the answer but not exactly sure, or in your case you knew but needed
documented verification from others in the field.  I hope your fellow
workers and supervisors got the message and please feel free to ask.  There
are those in the field who feel this is a social network for experts and
that is okay too, but the real reason NSH and histosearch was started was to
expand knowledge of the histology community and to improve our profession.
Remembering when histology was in the basement and no one knew we were
there, it makes me proud of the progress we have made in the 48 years I have
been in the field.  

Keep asking and share what you know, no need for apologies.

Shirley

I originally asked my questions because I *knew* it was being done
incorrectly and no one @ my workplace believed me when I tried to show them
the way I was taught/trained-as stated in my original post.

Regardless, it never occurred to me that my questions were something that
would be met with oh no or oh my gosh - I feel as though I should
apologize for my stupid question.

 

However, thank you, to those who responded with your procedures. I'm making
a great case based on what we know!

 

Have a good week!

Re: [Histonet] RE: Questions

2010-09-20 Thread Kristen Lauing
Shirley and Amy and others responding to this thread: thanks for your posts.
I am not in the histotechnology field - I'm actually a graduate student at 
Loyola who does her own processing, cutting, and staining of bone tissue - so I 
really appreciate every so-called dumb question, no matter how simple, since 
I have never been formally trained in the field.  I assumed this was a great 
forum to safely ask those kinds of questions to advance my graduate student 
research.  I'm learning new details about histology every day just by reading 
posts by helpful people like you.  

Thanks  have a great week,
Kristen
