Review of Pathology (2008) by Pathoslogos — 31 Mar 2018
The name is a misnomer first of all. It should have been "forensics" or "forensic pathology". The main reason is that "Pathology" is the laboratory work at the hospital site whose main function is diagnostic procedures on tissues and body fluids of mainly from living patients i.
E. "surgical pathology" or as in UK "histopathology"for organs and tissues and "cytopathology" for body fluids........The movie has only fouced on "forensci pathology" whish is an autopsy work.
.....Besides this there is a great gap inthe movie omitting microscopic analysis of the organs and tissues. The movie gives the wrong impression of gross examination of autopsy findings is adequate for final diagnosis.
This has been rejected by the 19th century pathologists saying that final pathologic diagnosis can not exist without a microscopic analysis (pionered by Professor Rudolph Virchow and colleagues of 19th century) as opposed to the medieval approach of the old centuries.
The movie gives a false impression of medical pathology practice in this regard......
