To begin with, the frequently used description of pathologists as the “Doctor’s Doctor” sounds quite appealing to me.

Before then, I had always found the meticulous search and gathering of clues to support a discovery to be mentally stimulating. I was never bored. This is why I had been drawn to research during my undergraduate studies in biochemistry and later
Abstract In pathology, consultation with a patient is a very scarce and a rare event. Pathologists are often considered invisible and unrecognized; due to the misconceptions and stereotypes they hold in our society.
