Jerry, you are right that clinical work is different from research. You are
wrong to consider 20 blocks per hour to be a "sweat-shop" pace. I've know
scores of histotechs that cut well over 20 blocks per hour and produce high

As short histo techs what kind of aids are you using, stepladders or
stools? Sorry, I couldn't resist. There is a ton of information on the
histonet archive about this. A search should yield all the info you

Joe, I can hardly believe you could be that grouchy :). When I was
looking hard for a tech I called my buddy Matt Chase at Children's to
