In short, they function as a doctor's doctor. In general, they work in collaboration with other doctors in diagnosing a myriad of diseases affecting patients in many ways such as giving intraoperative diagnoses (frozen sections) while the patient is on the operating table, diagnosing surgical specimens following removal to confirm and further classify diagnoses to providing laboratory and blood bank services with the ultimate goal of assisting clinicians in their treatment decision making plans for their patients. And yes, they also perform autopsies on inpatients if so requested by clinical staff and/or family members.
Examining body fluids and tissues from living and dead persons. They check these samples to identify microorganisms: worms, protozoa, germs, viruses etc. Also they test medications and chemicals to see what effects are shown on the samples. Some go to observe autopsies, general CSI stuff.
They depict human diseases and conditions, how these diseases effect the human body, and how they can be treated by studying human organs, tissue, bodily fluid and blood.
Pathologists work in hospital laboratories, performing autopsies (disection) on corpses, to depict the cause of death.
Many people think that pathologists mainly perform autopsies on corpses but it is in fact not true. Autopsies are still used but pathologists deal most of the time with living creatures, e.g. they examine bioptical samples taken out from patients during operations, etc. to find out about possible problems. In fact nearly all excisions made during surgeries are examined by pathologists. The same goes for gynaecological samples, etc. Autopsies currently form less than 10% of the job of a pathologist.
- to investigate the circumstance/s that may have cause of death, then informs/reports findings to relevant authority.
they work in lads and the ones that do autopsy work in the csi department
They study the disease, causes and the consequences from the disease.

People who study pathology are called pathologists.
The H1N1 Influenza is a virus and scientists who study viruses are called virologists and microbiologists. Others involved in the study of the flu are epidemiologists, pathologists, pharmacologists, and immunologists.
Royal College of Pathologists was created in 1962.
Animal pathologists may be veterinarians or zoologists (animal scientists). Veterinarians specializing in pathology study diseases and disorders in animals.
Pathologists are medical doctors who specialise in the study of causes of death.
Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia was created in 1956.
According to the American Society of Clinical Pathology, there are between 13,000 - 14,000 board certified pathologists.
Pathology is the study of disease processes. There are mycologists, bacteriologists, microbiologists, oncologists, and more who study specific organisms that may or may not cause disease, or specialize in specific categories. "Pathologists" would be the best answer to this question.
pathologists
Yes...I wear them :)
there are 1000's there is no exact answer
About 100 years, literally. In general anthropologists study bones over a century old, especially skulls, and pathologists examine remains younger that still have other tissues attached. The two professions sometimes overlap or work together such as when a relatively recent but completely skeletonized body is discovered. Most really good pathologists have also learned much about anthropology in the course of their own jobs. Another way to look at it is that pathologists determine how a recently living subject died and anthropoligists determine how historic or pre-historic subjects lived.
