Vinnie and all who responded on the positive side of histotecnologist-BRAVO!
It is time that we take on that responsibility, pathologist need our help
and we as histotecnologist are very capeable of reading a positive and a
negative in immunos, after all, we don't wrirte the report, the pathologist
does. A pathologist will not ask for your help in reading immunos if
pathologist does not have the confidence in his tecnologist. The same
scenario when a medical technolgist turns in her clinical interpretations
to the phsician/clinician, it is the physicians final call as to how to
treat the patient, technologist just give the results of test.
Again I say BRAVO!
