Subject: Re: [Histonet] Silver staining technique
I've been burned in the past (I'm not talking about being flamed now) by
just checking the control slide without checking the patient. Like most
other places, we cut controls in batches. Some one else might cut the
patient. Different techs, different cutting techniques, etc. Me, myself,
have performed GMS stains were I just looked at the control (which was
perfect I might add) and the patient was over stained because it was
loaded with fungi more than the control did.
People say I'm a fun guy or was that fungi? Either way, I have a
tendency to grow on people.
