Pathologists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing diseases by examining tissues, organs, and bodily fluids. They play a critical role in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. Pathologists work in a laboratory setting, analyzing samples from patients to determine the cause of their illness or condition. Pathologists examine samples of tissue taken from a patient's body to identify abnormalities and diagnose diseases such as cancer. They also analyze samples of blood and other bodily fluids to diagnose diseases and monitor the progress of treatment. Pathologists also perform autopsies to determine the cause of death and provide information that may be used in medical research or legal proceedings.
