So pathologists are now infectious disease experts...? Did a Noted Pathologist Write This Viral Coronavirus Advice Letter?

"In the late 1970s, as professor of pathology at the University of California, San Diego, Robb published some of the earliest descriptions of coronaviruses. He also published a book chapter on this class of viruses for 'Comprehensive Virology.'"

Yes, some are.

Yes, there is such a thing as an infectious disease pathologist. Some pathologist are dedicated medical microbiologists.

she looks extremely qualified to me. Path is a great field to be a med micro expert.

Hey Dr. Robb! Thanks but no thanks. You have just taken us to a new low of QUACKERY!

I’d rate her as an immunologist not a pathologist.

I’d rate her as an immunologist not a pathologist.

She’s a board certified clinical pathologist who did a medical microbiology fellowship and is a director of a clinical microbiology lab. Why would you say she isn’t a pathologist?

I agree and don’t see where the disconnect is here. She completed a pathology residency and an ACGME-accredited pathology fellowship and now works in the Department of Pathology. How is she not a pathologist?
