Biopsy and pathology is the most important thing specialty in medicine. It sounds a bit bold, but it is true. you should think about it seriously. Pathology is the core discipline in medical treatment. It is the foundation of the medical field. It’s the study of disease. This is something every patient should know that whether his pathologist is good or not, don’t you think? It is an important matter because your life could be at stake. The pathologist’s diagnosis may define what the next step in your care will be. If you have a small lump on your breast, or a mole on your arm and you are worried about it. Then you have to go to doctor and he examines you, but cannot be absolutely sure what the lesion is without “further studies” , and therefore, suggests a biopsy. You have to agree to the biopsy. The doctor takes that piece of the tissue from your breast, arm, wherever and sends it to the lab. Patients often don’t think about what’s going on behind the scenes. The lab is where technicians, nurses, histologists, physician assistants and physicians (pathologists) will be to receive your specimen and analyze it briefly. It could take around 20 hours to process and ready the stained glass slide with your specimen on it. The pathologist will get a chance to look at your biopsy under the microscope and give you a diagnosis on which you can trust fully.
