Answers:
A pathologist is a specialist who identifies diseases by studying cells and tissues under a microscope!. Pathology is a medical specialty focused on providing a definitive diagnosis of many different diseases, including cancer!. Usually the services provided by a pathologist are on behalf of a referring physician!. The referring physician is the doctor who directly treats the patient!. The pathologist, whom most patients never meet, is something of a doctor's doctor!.

What does the pathologist do!?
He or she examines tissue under a microscope to see what kind of abnormalities are in the tissue sample!. The pathologist writes a report detailing the diagnosis!. The information in the report helps the treating physician decide on a course of action!.

Tissue sample means that it has been removed from a human body, and since you would be using a microscope, that means a laboratory, so maybe you should consider something else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
