I shadowed a pathologist today and it was pretty cool. It was a little different than I thought.
At first every cell looked exactly the same, except for the architecture. Then I started seeing some noticeable differences...but those of you who are path people, does it get easier and easier, or do you need to just be "gifted" with the ability to see the different colors, shapes, sizes, etc?
She did a little bit of grossing today, as well...which I thought was interesting, but I was a little overwhelmed at first as she pulled a human leg out of a brown paper bag. I didn't get woozy or anything, but it was a very surreal scence.
One more question for those who would know. Do you get bored staring at slides for hours on end every day?
