What is a Pathologist and how does he/she fit into my healthcare?
Pathologist is a specialist physician who is responsible for diagnosing tissue specimens, body fluids, Pap Smears and other specimens taken from you during surgery or a Doctors examination. Your Doctor will send the specimen to a Pathologist to examine and diagnose. Your Doctor depends on the Pathologist to issue a Pathology Report that will tell him or her if the specimen contains cancerous cells.
