howdy. i'm a n00b interested in pathology. here are my questions...

so, why did you guys decide that pathology was right for you? was it just a general distaste for or apathy toward patient care? lifestyle? science? something else?

also, besides looking at biopsy slides and doing autopsies, what else do pathologists do? also, is it uber-competitive to match at a top place like it would be in rads/etc?

thanks for any help. 👍

It was either this or being a barrista at Starbucks, and double whipped skim mocha-lattes piss me off.

I haven't been around long enough to know the deschutes ewok story. I guess I could search the forum for "deschutes ewok"

Well, I searched for "adventures harbster" and this is what I turned up:
