TeriI think you are right about the promotion of the status quo, and this is
a definate concern for me in staying in this field. There seems to be so much
change resistance. Also, it is my understanding that many MT programs used
to require histology rotations in histology here as well, but
Very interesting topics being discussed here by everyone!!! Laboratory
automation has dramatically transformed the lab.,
specifically the clinical environment, but not on the same scale for the
research based histology labs., - particularly those
individuals working with larger free-floating

Teri,
A few thoughts about your post:
I totally agree with you about putting our name out there in publications other
than lab-centric journals. I once had a bizarre idea that the president of
NSH could appear with Matt Lauer on the Today show to promote Histo
Professionals Day. Why not?

Histology was taken out of the US med tech programs decades ago. At that time
histo was all cutting, HE and special stains. Since histotechs don't report
out results they thought it was not really the same level as med techs so out
it went. Most other countries have it as part of the med tech
Being in HTL education I truly would love to expose, teach, and train entry
level techs in the new and upcoming procedures. I am willing and ready to
embark on this myself to assure my students get a good foundation in these
areas, because they are the future. Alas, we have to remember that
Well said Toysha.
I don't think they have even really incorporated IHC into the histology
programs and that IS a routine technique now. We cannot promote in a
field what we do not teach!

Can you tell me what thickness you cut your routine slides for HE and
immuno (in particular lymph nodes).
Also, your protocol for cutting prostate needle core biopsies.how
many spares you cut and do you designate the level on the slide label if
multiple levels are submitted on one slide?
Well, this honey has been on the same page since the EARLY 1960'S. I
crossed over from the MT side into histology and never looked back. It was
obvious very early on that histology was far more interesting than working
as an MT, poor pay or otherwise. Way back in the Dark Ages, our MT
4 microns and 3 for lymph nodes.

Thank you Gayle, I appreciate your comments. And no, I definately did not mean
any disrespect to MT's now or ever. I know they work hard too, and they have
the same hurdles in many ways. We all deserve more recognition. I just wish
all us laboratorians could unite and we would be a force to
Routine at 4, lymph nodes/bone marrows at 2, GI/prostate at 3
Prostate we cut 3 shallow levels. pick up 2 extra slides from the second
level as unstained which get used for p63/PIN cocktail (p504s/p63) if
requested
Each slide has one level...2 sections per slide

I worked as a generalist for 4 yrs and then was in Microbiology for 8 yrs prior
to moving to Histology in 1990. I have always felt the experience of working in
the other areas of lab helped me understand the entire process, especially
those involving fluids which were shared between multiple
