Would you ask a surgeon to speed up his procedure? We are also using sharp blades and cutting off the tip of a finger is a real outcome to speed cutting. What we do effects patient outcome and quality must always come first. Speed come gradually after. When you treat patient tissue on a assembly line you diminish the importance of what we do. The pathologist cannot diagnose disease without quality slides.

I don't think your age should have any bearing on finding one. If you were close to me I'd hire you. Working under that kind of condition is unacceptable in my opinion. It promotes errors and that isn't what we are all about. Those blocks are our patients.
