[Histonet] MOHS daily flow...

slides per block are you cutting? Do you have a set time limit on when all first layers are to be done? Any additional information is greatly appreciated. Thanks much!! Karen Karen L. Bauer HTL/HT (ASCP) Histology Supervisor Pathology Department Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire E-mail

RE: [Histonet] MOHS daily flow...

Hi Jeanine, Our patients go back to a MOHS only waiting room between layers. Nice comfy loungers, big screen TV, refreshments, things to make them comfortable while they wait, since it could be a long day for them. They can bring in one family member with them if they want. Karen Karen L
