Introduction
This site is dedicated to the facts of all things interesting to myself and hopefully to others.

Anatomic Pathology
This is a medical specialty (a branch of pathology) that is concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the gross, microscopic, and molecular examination of cells and tissues.

It turns out to be a pathologist it will take about 13 to 15 years to get there, I may have already stated this already. I guess I just can't get that out of my head, I have a lot awaiting for me in my future.

Surgical Pathology
This is an anatomic pathologist’s primary duty. They have the duty of diagnosing what it is that a patient has. First, a physician sends a sample of a suspected cell or tissue, and the pathologist determins whether or not that sample is or isn’t infected. Usually there are two ways that the sample is taken from the patient, biopsy or resection. In a biopsy a doctor of oncology, for example will send a sample of a tumor to an anatomic pathologist for study. The pathologist will study the sample and then determin whether or not the subject is malignant or benign.

Biopsies
These are also used to diagnose diseases other than cancer, including inflammatory, infectious, or idiopathic diseases of the skin and gastrointestinal tract, to name only a few.

Resection
This is when the entire area of the disease is removed, this is usually done when the diagnosis is already known or strongly suspected and is needed quick oporation. In resection the pathologist examines the removed tissue to (1) decide whether the previously-suspected diagnosis is correct, (2) investigate whether there were any unsuspected concurrent diseases, and (3) determine whether the entire diseased area was removed.(wikipedia.com)

Some cases that pathologists must study are very mysterious and some doctors may pass it off as insignificant. Such as, a 60-year old woman had a nose bleed that would just not stop. The Anatomical Pathologist did a study and found that the woman had a mass that went through the nasal cavity and all the way through the ethmoid sinus, also some through the cribriform plate.([]) In general pathologists earn a yearly salary of $221,810.
