When was the moment that you knew it was Path? I guess for many people it was a gradual process, and was probably not a Eureka moment. But in hindsight, what was that one time where you experienced something that just made you say "WOW! This is cool!!!" and made you think about path?
For me, I think it was during my histology class in undergrad. Previosly I had learned in bio about how the body works..yadda yadda yadda. For example, the crude drawing of a nephron...with the glomerulus and tubules. Then, in histology I got to see a real nephron...the moment I saw that H&E stain of a glomerulus I was hooked. I remember thinking..so it actually looks like this! The relationship of structure and function was so sophisticated yet elegant it just totally amazed me. Plus, I never tire of seeing the beauty of H&E stains (I'm sure this novelty will pass the more slides I see)...but there's something to be said about the human body when you see it in that way....
okay, enough rambling...you must think i'm psychotic...but the pink and purple are just such pretty colors
