Radiologists or sugeons are generally the medical professionals who take the tissue sample known as a biopsy, and pathologists are the ones who identify the cells under the microscope. Anesthesiologists may be necessary if the biopsy is done as a surgical procedure.

Do doctors look away when doing a breast exam?
Some do, and some don't. Many look at the breast to look for changes in the appearance of the breast such as changes in the skin, nipple or appearance of dimples. While I'm doing a breast exam I often look away or close my eyes in order to concentrate on what I'm feeling.Mary - Nurse Practitioner

Should you get a second opinion before having cone biopsy?
A cone biopsy is only done after other tests have come back positive, so I don't think a second opinion is medically necessary. In order to practice as a doctor, all doctors have to have passed exams and be licensed to practice. If your smears have show cancerous cells and you do not feel comfortable with your doctor it may be better for you to work with another doctor as it is likely that the treatment will be emotional for you and may last a long time. But doing a cone biopsy after a positive smear test is normal, routine standard procedure.

What are some mistakes doctors make?
Some doctors mistake a certain problem for another. Example: Heart disease for breast cancer. They also might proscribe the wrong medication. They might hive you to much of a medication. The less experienced make the most mistakes, so do the old doctors. The beginning doctors don't know what they are doing. The old doctors might forget how to do something or have trouble seeing. It really depends. If you don't trust your doctor ask for a different one or do a background check on them to find out details about them.
