I'm not sure any of those issues would go away just because someone was signing out remotely. Clinicians will still have questions about your cases. Secretaries will still need to talk to you about pending cases, send outs, etc. And lab techs will still need to converse with you about staining issues, QA, etc. I don't think it really changes those things much at all.
Most of them would go away. Out of sight, out of mind. They just would. It’s like someone rotating out at a satellite hospital for a week. Or someone who works “out there” 2-3 weeks a month. The slides are sent there, they sign them out, and deal with minimum on-site issues because it’s a tiny lab at a small hospital where some surgeons might need a frozen or there might be a ROSE (hardly ever). It’s a cakewalk compared to the job at the larger hospital site. If someone wants to go remote, they should have to throw some $$ back in the pot. It’ll be digital-88305-party-time. Not on my dime. Unless everyone goes remote or there’s an equal split rotation (which there won’t be).

That only works if you're the only remote person and other people are doing the on-site work. If the whole lab goes remote, you're still responsible for just as much as you would be on-site. Either way, clinicians would still call you about your cases. There'd still be plenty of annoying administrative crap specific to you and your work. And I'd definitely pay you less than the people on site.
