Pediatric Pathology

Just an update… here’s what my days have consisted of for the past 2 weeks…

It’s actually been pretty cool to see a lot of common things (appendix, tonsils, scar tissue, lymph nodes…) under the microscope again – now that I’ve got the clinical knowledge to explain what I’m seeing (as opposed to when I was an MSI and I really didn’t know how to intrepret the things I saw).  Also, I’ve seen some very interesting skin lesions/rashes, lots of placentas (eeewwww, I know), some tumors, and a whole TON of gastrointestinal tract biopsies.  Well not really a ton, because the biopsies are all so tiny, probably more like a few ounces… but that’s a lot of intestines!
