Hi Claire,
Sorry you are having difficulties with Thermo. Actually, Thermo is
the parent of Fisher now, as well as Lab Vision and Richard Allen.
Leica is not associated with Thermo what so ever. Leica is the
parent company of "Vision Biosystems" now Leica Microsystems "Bond"
and McCorm
There was a good article about this topic in Lab Medicine (ASCP) "Who Owns
Diagnostic Tissue Blocks?" February 2009, Vol 40, No 2, pf 69-73 (available in
pdf format on line at www.ascp.org).
It also addresses wet tissue, other things taken out of people.
The key sentence in that article is: "
Consult your medical legal department on this issue because this is not new
situation.
It is often times based on the person religion but the request should be made
know at the time of surgery.
So pathology can be made aware and avoid putting the specimen in formalin.

We do not return any tissue to patient unless there is a religious
request that must be initiated by the patient (ie, staff are not
permitted to offer this option--we consider that coaching). Then it is
a big hassle with the issues of hazard exposure, disposal, etc.

I felt the same way as you about the hazards. I hadn't thought about the
what they signed before surgery. I will check into that.

Maybe they're all pestering me. :) I believe Leica has Thermo now. I know they
have closed at least one factory in my region, maybe more.

If the request was made by the patient or their physician, then the patient is
billed. They are informed of this by their physician after he/she contacts us.
If it is requested by the pathologist because they are unsure of a diagnosis,
then the pathologist will pay. I'm not referring to sending

It is my understanding that we cannot charge professional fees for other
pathologists. Our hospital pays for the pathologists' consults if the patient's
insurance will not or if the consultant does not bill third party.
