What do pathologists study?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.
