What does a pathologist do?

Pathologists act as diagnosis specialists who help other doctors prepare treatments based on their health reports. They analyse samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., for biopsies and specialised techniques. Furthermore, they identify and address abnormalities, including infections, cancers, and inflammatory conditions.

What question should you ask a pathologist?

If you are face-to-face with a pathologist in Calicut at Aster MIMS, ask them questions about your diagnosis reports, such as which symptoms are listed in the reports, what deficiencies are marked, how to read the report properly, and what you should look for in the reports.

What are the most common types of conditions that pathologists treat?

The role of pathologists is not patient facing, and as such, they do not treat conditions themselves. They work with other medical specialists to determine the root cause of symptoms and conditions that affect patients. Pathologists are experts in diagnosing a wide range of conditions, such as cancers, tumours, infections or allergies, viruses, inflammatory conditions, and blood disorders.

When should I consider seeing a pathologist?

Patients only see a pathologist when they want to collect their diagnosis reports or want to understand the medical reports. The role of pathologists is not patient-facing and as such patients cannot directly book an appointment to visit a pathologist unless it is regarding any diagnostic test that has already been performed.

How does a pathologist decide on a treatment plan?

Pathologists don't directly determine treatment plans. They act as vital collaborators, providing physicians with a critical piece of the puzzle. Their comprehensive reports interpret the sample findings and guide the physician's decision-making process. Based on the diagnosis and other factors, the physician formulates the most appropriate treatment plan for the patient.

What advancements or technologies are utilised by pathologists?

Pathologists use various advancements to monitor patient samples to aid their diagnoses. These include highly equipped microscopes, immunohistochemistry (IHC), microtoms, centrifuges, digital imaging machines, incubators, and cryostats. Our pathologists in Calicut always use advanced techniques to prepare accurate diagnosis reports.

What documents should I carry on my first visit to a pathologist?

Patients do not visit pathologists directly as the role is not a patient-facing role. They work in laboratories and examine the patient samples that are sent in for testing. Based on their evaluation, the root cause of conditions or symptoms is discovered.

What is the role of a pathologist in a patient's treatment journey?

Pathologists aren't directly involved in treatment, but they provide diagnostic reports to help doctors prepare or modify ongoing treatments. They also assist surgeons with instant readings of patients through samples and ensure necessary collaboration in case of emergencies or critical situations.
