How to Read a Pathology Report?
Pathologists study diseases, determining how they are caused and developed with the choice to specialize in one area or another. Pathologists provide general reports to a patient’s physician where abnormal results can be discussed in private. Your physician will be able to help you understand what the results mean and the options for treatment. Follow this guideline to help you better understand the common sections all pathology reports entail.
▪ Step 1: Review the first section of the pathology report. This section provides the patients detailed contact information
▪ Step 2: Review the second section of the report. All received specimens, where the specimen was taken from and specimen diagnoses and any additional notes will be listed. Most often the diagnosis is listed in bold print beside each specimen. The diagnoses will also specify whether the site is benign or diseased and if diseased what type, patterns and stage advancement.
▪ Step 3: Review the third section of the report. This section will list a detailed description of specimen findings, more specifically any abnormal results will be described in great detail here and how the Pathologist came to these findings.
▪ Step 4: Ask your physician detailed questions. This is your opportunity to find out what abnormal results mean to your long term health. Often patients become overwhelmed with the news of abnormalities and forget to ask questions. Write these down and ask the remaining questions when you speak with your physician next.
▪ Step 5: Decide on a course for medical treatment. During the pathology report discussion your physician will inform you of your treatment choices. Ask further questions regarding the different treatment options to help you determine which the best course of action is. You do not have to decide immediately; go home and discuss the results and treatment options with your family. Once you have made a decision have another meeting with your physician to get started on treatment.
With a report full of medical jargon, reviewing a pathology report doesn’t have to be overly confusing. Discuss the results with your physician and decide together with your family on a course of medical treatment; allow yourself to maintain control of your health.

Name something people do while the doctors giving them a shot?
See below for the Family Feud game answer.
Many do things to distract themselves from the activities involved with the injection. Any distraction helps you perceive less discomfort or pain, so what is suggested, and often done, is something to take the patient's mind off the shot, to relax the muscles where the shot is being given, and sometimes to cause a second simultaneous stimulus that can affect the pain perception and reduce the sensation of pain by "tricking the nervous system".
Our brains usually receive painful sensations one at a time, so if you cause a second simultaneous pain signal, the end result can be half as much pain perceived. Sometimes nurses and doctors will gently pinch or touch you in a different location just as the needle is injected for this purpose.
See the related questions below for more details about getting or giving painless shots (jabs). There are different methods and different reactions from patient to patient and these are often related to patient age, such as when children cry and become scared as their initial responses.
Contributors have said these are some of the things they do:
- Cringe, frown, wince, grimace, flinch, grit teeth, pout.
- Cry, whimper, scream, yell.
- Take a deep breath, breathe rhythmically, hold their breath.
- Close their eyes or look away from the injection site and from the equipment being used.
- Wiggle, wriggle, thrash around, have a hissy fit, squirm, or try to run away. Kids will also kick, pinch, spit, hit or jump off the exam table. They very rarely bite.
- Chat with the doctor or nurse or try to think about something else.
- I have also been instructed to close my eyes, take a deep breath and pinch my nose just before getting it.
- Hold someone's hand tightly or hold on to the chair arm, clench fists, etc.
- Bite on a bullet (if you are a cowboy), a stick, a piece of leather, or your tongue or lip as other ways to distract yourself.
- Self hypnosis, relaxation techniques, go to your happy place, picture yourself far away, etc.
- Panic, pass out, faint.
- I wiggle my toes to keep from thinking about it.
- Everyone is different, but even though most people believe everyone hates getting a shot, contrary to this belief there are people out there that find joy in it, and therefore smile.
- Say ouch, ow, owie!
- Try to be optimistic, but some may be pessimistic and expect the worse, then that is usually what they get.
- Most of us endure the needle sting and count to 3 or 5 or 10 and it is all over and time to get your sucker.
More from contributors:
As you get older you'll begin to realize that thinking about it and anticipating the worst actually causes it to hurt worse. Most shots just feel like a skin prick when the needle goes in. There are some intramuscular shots that are made of a thicker solution (like penicillin) that are a little more uncomfortable as the medicine goes in, but, most are only noticeable when the needle goes in and are over before you expect it. If the clinician who is giving the shot with the thicker medicines will inject the needle quickly and the medicine slowly, it can make a huge difference in what you feel.
Tricks that parents, nurses and pediatricians often use with kids are:
- Swab alcohol on an opposite site of the body and then have the child blow on that spot. It will feel cold and help keep them from focusing on the injection.
- Distract them with a toy pop-up book, game, music etc. or sing songs, have them sit on your lap. Blow bubbles is really good... little kids love 'em. Have older kids bring an iPod or something to distract them.
- Let them sit on your lap, hold your hand, etc. Praise them for being brave no matter what, even if they cried.
- Show them how to blow really hard during the shot like they're blowing out birthday candles, etc.
- Tell an older child to think of a really fun cool place and pretend they're there.
- Do a funny dance or make a funny face for your child.
- Some parents have their own treat or new toy with them for when it is over. Your doctor may give stickers or suckers. Some people take the kids out for fast food, ice cream, or other special treats.
According to TV's Family Feud:
