What type of doctor examines surgically removed organs?

The word pathology means study of disease.

Player #25874027, The pathologist simply reports the lab findings. The doctor has to interpret those results to determine how it correlates to the patient's symptoms and then makes a diagnosis and prescribes a treatment.

my uncle was also a pathologist

LillySparrow, I say, GO FOR IT!! I knew a woman who earned a bachelor’s degree (her third) at age 90. You’re never too old to learn something new! (She lived to be 96 and was sharp as a tack until the end.)

Marcy, as long as the “parts” aren’t all bloody 😃

Player #120374466, me neither … NOW at 63 this sounds like a very interesting profession!!!? Too late?

Now that sounds like a very interesting profession!!!

Player #120374466, Most doctors do not interpret test results, that is the province of the technical side - Pathologists including Histologists , Cytologists , Haematologists etc

I didn't know another doctor( pathologist) besides your specialist was involved in the interpretation of tests and the suggesting of treatments.

also doctors who study the lab.results
