A few comments.
I disagree with LAdoc about FP as a career. Way better job security than any other area in pathology (true shortage and can't outsource FP). Look at AAFS or NAME job postings if curious - there are always at least 10-15 openings in the US and Canada. There ain't enough of us, and plenty of white guys in the 50s who will retire within a decade (unlike diagnostic path, FP is physically taxing - you try examining a 230kg decedent). And north of the border, the pay is much better, although the gap seems to be narrowing a bit. Los Angeles just appointed a new chief, reported salary 275K.
I never watched Dr. Bao's testimony, but heard it was quite awkward. Did follow Dr. DiMaio testifying for the defense, and believe Zimmerman owes the man his freedom. DiMaio looked at the findings and basically said, "yeah, Zimmerman's story is possible given the evidence" and that clearly equaled resonated with jurors that perhaps Zimmerman was acting in self-defense. Perhaps = reasonable doubt = not guilty. As a young FP, this case was a bit of a textbook on how to act and how not to act on the witness stand.
Call me a xenophobe if you must, but doing pathology in a foreign language is hard, and for FP it's just worse. I honestly can't imagine the difficulty of writing my reports in French, or any non-native language. FP reports often must convey subtle details, and we do that through precise punctuation, specific adverbs and adjectives, and how we use written and spoken language. It's tough enough doing it in my native tongue. I do know some English as a second language FPs who are very good, both as pathologists and in their command of written and spoken English, but even more than other areas of path, I think the bar for proficiency in the language where you work must be set extremely high for FPs.
As to the lawsuit, this will probably be ugly on both side for a long time. Dr. Bao is probably rather worried for his financial future, as he may be worried about his ability to find future employment as an FP in the US, given the notoriety of his case.
