Definition of Pathology and Pathologist
Geoffrey Murdoch：Istarted my pathology occupation not really knowing what was it that pathologists did on day-to-day basis.I think people who go into it should learn a little bit before they start because it does have some unique features.
Jennifer Picarsic：The pathologist is the doctors,doctor form sort of bridge between patient and clinician,so pathology touches pretty much every patient.That's something that's really important.Pathology is combining the clinical history,the radiology,and bringing the whole picture together.
Sara Monaco：I think we are consultants,and teachers,and diagnosticians,who sort of act like detectives.We sort of take little pieces of puzzledom,putting everything together.So we provide clinical history,we look at radiological imaging,and then we ultimately have to make decision about what's going on in the context of what we've seen.
Raja Seethala：We are the primary diagnosticians here.In turn,we take diagnoses to the ultimate level.We are the final words,so it's very important for us to keep that in perspective.(https://www.daowen.com)
Robert Redner：If there were no pathologists,I don't think I could do what I do.Most of the diagnoses that I deal with are very difficult to make.I need a skilled pathologist to help guide me in terms of diagnosis as well as prognosis of the patients.
Raja Seethala：Pathologist is also great in the sense that you have the ability to expand your role as an educator or as a scientist.
Geoffrey Murdoch：Teaching is the key to what we do.We teach our clinicians.When we don't just make the diagnosis,we have to teach the clinicians what that diagnosis means.I'm continuingly teaching.I teach medical students when they rotate on the service.I teach the residents and the fellows on the service of course.Here in the university,we all participate in teaching the lectures for the medical students.
Sara Monaco：I think pathology provides me sort of profession that allows me to pursue a variety of my interest,which includes diagnostic work,patient care,and also research and teaching.And so I think people think that pathology is sort of that old school science of forensics.And to sort of find out what pathology truly was,it required me investigating and doing electives,spending time on pathology to see that image was not what I saw and what I wanted.And what I was really seeing first-handed was what I did want.
