What do ask for

When consulting a senior, what you generally want to know are:

• If bringing a slide tray, don't forget the slide on your microscope.
• ((Is the office door open, and if so, how much? Generally leave it the same way on the way out.))
• The pathology issues at hand.
• If information is given for writing a pathology report, what will you do after writing them? Save, sign or notify them otherwise?
