As a med student can confirm. My Surgery attending dropped me off to the path lab like kindergarten, and the pathologist’s parting words when he came back to pick me up were “we don’t get many visitors down here, come back whenever you want!”
@@bananasunshine “the children they always wanted” implies there’s a quality that makes them different than other children that they might not have wanted “they listen without questioning it” is the quality, that dissimilar to other “kids” med students are being proposed to have.

This is one of the reasons I became a pathologist. They were the only people in med school who treated me like a human and looked like their lives weren’t incredibly miserable. Best choice ever.
This is the best comment ever! I want to be a pathologist too! I didn’t get accepted into medical school this past cycle and going to try again. I hope I can be like you one day.
I'm an embalmer and a funeral director, so sometimes I have to go pick up some very Itty bitty miscarriages from the pathology department at our local hospital. One day I asked the pathologist how she could tell what the gender was at such an early stage, because it looked extremely ambiguous to me. She totally forgot about her actual task, and donated 45 minutes of her day to me going over fetal genital development, with charts and diagrams. She was so excited to have someone to share her knowledge with.
Please don't stop listening like that. There are so many passionate smart people, just looking for a chance to share their knowledge with anyone who will listen.
That would absolutely be me 😂 anyone asks me a question about a specific interest and I will stop what I'm doing and they get an improv PowerPoint presentation 😂
This is how a lot of scientists are, they LOVE telling people about their work, you can just email most of them and get a meeting where they set aside a few hours to tell you everything about what they do and then answer any questions you have, try not to because most of them are SUUUUUPERR busy and will set aside time anyways but it's neat yk
If I was the med student, I would assume I was being mocked or had become the subject of a cruel joke where they act overtly friendly to make you lower your guard before humiliating you.
That's actually the one line in the skit that didn't ring true to me! 🤣 Every med student would have already seen tons of basophils in histology by the time they're doing rotations. I feel like our pathologist would have mentioned something much rarer. 🤣
In middle school I was the only student who requested to job shadow a pathologist when we visited the hospital on a field trip. It was one old guy and one young guy, and you could tell they didn't get many visitors. I remember them showing me the computer that they used to record their specimens and that the keyboard had a kind of protective vinyl cover over that was really gross and dirty - it seemed like they were trying to freak me out. But because I didn't have a very grossed out or offended response, apparently I passed the test, because they proceeded to show me their Hall of Fame of specimens. It included a detached finger with about two feet of tendon trailing from it (from a carpenter who had slid off a roof while wearing his wedding band and gotten it caught) aaand a truly giant dildo made of hard plastic, which had been sawed off at the base. They explained to me that by MA law, anything removed in surgery goes to pathology to be chronicled 😂 Best job shadow day ever and most certainly an experience that led to me pursuing a science degree.
One pathologist very proudly showed me a gallstone bigger than a grown man's fist (dude had a 10 liter bucket collection full of gallstones). Apparently it went undetected for years because it produced no symptoms and was removed in an obduction
As a microbiology student, you ain't even fricken wrong. They get very excited about their tiny friends in little spaces. Even if said friends are about as deadly as a charging hippo.
I feel called out in a good way, heh. My excitement when confronted with bacteria staining senior year of high school - I spent ten minutes trying to get good photos down a microscope lens (they weren't even required for the assignment). Also hats off to your pfp
So, I dated the pathology tech and MOST of the pathologists seriously gave off this vibe. They were kind and friendly. When they'd see me around the hospital or at the other hospital they would always say "Hi" and sometimes stop and chat.
My uncle was a pathologist. He is just as nice and kind as the one in the video.. Super smart guy, he and his brothers grew a human ear on the back of a rat for a research paper.. he’s also my godfather :)
Not a med student, but a student for clinical lab science. We were able to sit with pathologists to look at slides during our hematology rotation, and this vid is spot on. Nice, caring, in love with their own dedicated microscopes, and boxes of Swiss miss lol
As a CLS student about to start clinicals, this warms my heart to hear. I went to the lab I've been placed at for a tour and when we walked by path, I asked about it and the gal showing me around kinda brushed it off- "we don't really interact with path at all..." so it got me curious enough to make a goal of getting to know them without being a bother
@@riyasingh2729 pathologists are a type of doctor that does lab tests, but they're known for examining dead bodies (that's why it's cold, to keep the bodies stable) So some people think they're all spooky or creepy, but they're really just very friendly people! Happy to have visitors Med students are often not treated very kindly by the doctors in the hospital, so the pathologists' friendliness is confusing the poor guy Also, the joke about grand rounds - pathologists don't have living patients
@@ae3qe27u3 hey, I’m a physician in pathology. We do have grand rounds every month. “Grand rounds” takes place in a classroom setting with multiple specialties, and “rounds/rounding” without the “grand” added to it is physically going from room to room in a hospital (I’m first gen and I got confused between the two for the longest time). Pathology includes clinical and anatomical path. Someone in clinical path on blood bank will be seeing patients in person every day. Anatomical path includes grossing everything that comes from an OR. Thanks for the good vibes, I figured I’d just clarify a couple of things.
@@cassie1790 I'll admit this video and everything I'm hearing is making me think of maybe trying to be a pathologist...problem is I need my current job to help my family out so I can't stop to go through med school nor do I have enough money to. I do actually want to be a actor or singer but you guys seem nice!
I had almost this exact experience yesterday when I went down to look at a frozen section from our surgical specimen. The second thing the fellow asked me (after my name and area of interest) was if I wanted to work on a research project.
It's really one of my favourites. Your guy reminds me of all my pathology teachers in med school. They were obviously much happier than clinical doctors, had hobbies and loved teaching. Also pathology is fascinating.
Right?! Even as a dental student, I can confirm! My Oral Pathology teachers were the happiest, sweetest, most knowledgeable, and looooved teaching. It was like coming face to face with a unicorn cause the difference from all other teachers were so stark!
As a pathologist I know once explained their reasoning to become a pathologist: „I found living patients annoying.“ I guess the work/life balance is much better.
I remember once having had a pathology class for a semester as an elective and the Dr. in charge of it was so incredibly enthusiastic about everything. Don't think I'll ever forget the way he told us so gleefully and warmly about his first ever body he was allowed to work on by himself, I rarely ever had lecturers this passionate about anything.
@@artsygal112 eh sometimes as a dental student, I wish I went into medicine to go into pathology. I really enjoyed/excelled histo/pathology. Plus, dealing with people can be exhausting sometimes.
This was pretty much my experience as a med student in the 80's, with the addition of being invited to gorge myself in the catered doctors' lounge every day. There was a cheese bar and a cookie bar in addition to the general buffet, and I ended up eating a whole day's worth of food every lunch. Good times!
My path lecturer and now path colleagues are really the sweetest people!! I always remember my lecturer recruiting us in med school being like "you can sit the part 1 exams as a med student!!" And luring us with work from home and minimal on call promises. I was never inclined that way naturally but I wish I was.
That was so cute when the pathologist said, "Do you wanna see a basophil?" I love it when people get excited to show something like a cell or a dead body
my high-school had a program with the local hospitals where kids did rounds in different departments. Luckily my first round was in pathology and I can confirm all the ladies made sure I was conformable and gave me snacks, truly the underrated heroes
@@riyasingh2729 They are extra nice and inviting because they don't get many alive visitors. They are just kind people who really care about other people.
@@luvfunstuff2 They also are more likely to get to have a work-life balance. In many hospitals, path is an 8-4, m-f job. I remember on the 3rd, the lab had quite a backlog of unreleased differentials because all pathologists got 12/31-1/2 off since new year's day fell on a monday
I just started dermatology residency and it has way more pathology than I was expecting. I can only imagine how much pathologists have to learn throughout residency.
I love how excited the pathologists are! I feel this vid also shows that even though Pathology may be a little concerning with his relationship to Tabitha, clearly his group is a friendly sort and able to interact just fine with other humans.
At the beginning of Covid I was undergoing a lot of medical testing at Mayo and before going to pulmonary, needed a covid test. The woman who performed my test wasn’t a usual nurse but a pathologist who apparently usually worked in the labs/behind the scenes. I asked her how she was doing with everything going on and she said “I like the increase in appreciation and enjoy talking to people about my work with germs.”
i'm not a med student but my high school bio class went to see an autopsy (amazing opportunity holy shit) and the pathologist there was absolutely like this. sweetest lady ever, made sure everyone was okay and reassured us multiple times that it's okay to go get some fresh air if someone feels dizzy. i don't know if all of them are like this but she definitely fit this stereotype
The amount of interest they have in looking through a microscope seems equal to the amount of interest in their med student lol. Can't tell if it's their version of bribery.
Starting medical school this year and can’t tell you how excited I am to eventually start rotations. I love your videos Dr.G, they’ve been a fun and motivating inspiration for me. Can’t wait for your future videos. 😃
Years ago I worked as a Committee Assistant to a variety of departmental and quality assurance committees. Pathologists were the nicest people around! They treated everyone like the most wonderful person they’d ever met. Urologists were close behind-they could tell some of the funniest stories that still make me grin when I think of them. I never worked with Ophthalmologists, but after watching your videos, I imagine they would have been in my top favorites!😊
Our pathology department at med uni has a different vibe, though I adore them nonetheless. But the cytogenetics lab at the hospital where I work is exactly like that - they’ve been essentially babysitting me ever since I started working, giving me candy and teaching me to tell chromosomes apart. I love them sm…
Once during my internship I had to go to patholgy department for some work and pathologist behavior was so full of warmth. I was really surprised bcoz you know how professors of clinical department behave😅😅
My pathology department gave out free tours to staff on world pathology day. I'm a low level admin but they took the time out to give me a full private tour. They joked about opening up a virus lab sample, asked me my blood type and about how blood needed to be carefully matched and the market value. They also told me that powercuts are a menace to the department. All their equipment needs power so I they have back ip generators. What can I say, those guys are friendly but a little weird.
I gotta say, Pathologists are always SO nice to talk to us. Be it a conversation above a disected dead body or a clinical-pathology presentation or just asking for images for a presentation!!! So kind!
I’m telling you, you are hands down the funniest Doctor I have ever seen! Well, you’re the only funniest Doctor I’ve ever seen! I just found you a couple of weeks ago and I laugh to everyone of your videos! They are so good. Plus you have never ending content to choose from. (-;
Our pathologist is so nice. He always leaves us happy face stickers when we catch malignancies. I'm a lab tech btw. Also you are more than welcome to visit other parts of the lab, you can look at even more slides or look at wet mounts at hematology, urinalysis, and microbiology if you need to.
Bro its videos like this that keep me motivated, life has been tough for me not even been able to go to school because of the state of my health but once ive recovered imma put in the work and try my best and hopefully become a doctor, keep up the good work!
THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE!!! OUR PATHOLOGY LECTURER RANDOMLY BOUGHT THE WHOLE CLASS REALLY EXPENSIVE CHOCOLATE CAKE ONE DAY WHEN I WAS A MED STUDENT. PATHOLOGISTS ARE SO NICE
LOL, I was a lab assistant at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, and this guy nailed it. The docs love teaching and the old school Pathologists we’re amazing to cut in with. They are very kind to the new Residents.
I'm in vet med, but in my last hospital our pathologist was the nicest doctor, who never complained about all the questions we always had for her. Such a pleasure to work with her.
The pathologist is so friendly and welcoming, but there's just something discomforting about being asked "Have you ever seen a basophil?" whilst raising your eyebrows😬😂
I have to admit.... everyone in pathology was really nice and super enthusiastic when I went in for a shadowing opportunity. I thought it was just because I was excited about pathology.
My old man is a derm-path, and this gives me mixed feelings. On the one hand, he really is this kind and friendly to everyone who comes through. On the other hand, for most of me and my sisters' lives, he has been at work by 5.45am every morning, come home for dinner at 5pm, and been back at work from 6pm to 10pm. When our mother is out of town, he's often at work until midnight or 1am. He's been doing this for over 30 years. Most, not all, but most of his coworkers keep similar hours.
I initially laughed at the... satire?? ...And then...it kept going...so I read the comments. My heart!! Oh I got all the warm fuzzies. I'm now happier to know of the kindly pathologists. 🥰👍
This is an old one, but one of my personal favorites, so I had to get it on my channel. Thanks for watching!
❤ 👁️ wish 👁️ had been a pathologist 😍
One of my favorites too, an absolute classic
No one has EVER seen a basophil. 😅
I love dropping off samples to the babushka *cough* I mean pathology department.
Funny cause it's true, they beg me to send my obgyn med students down there for a day
As a med student can confirm. My Surgery attending dropped me off to the path lab like kindergarten, and the pathologist’s parting words when he came back to pick me up were “we don’t get many visitors down here, come back whenever you want!”
Why is this so wholesome
Precious 🥲
Did you go back and visit? I don't think I'd want to leave.
That's so endearing ❤️

Actually this is VERY true and accurate. Dealing with people, especially sick, worried, fearful and angry people can be very energy-draining.

The amount of interest they have in looking through a microscope seems equal to the amount of interest in their med student lol.
Can't tell if it's their version of bribery.
Can confirm. Paths are always happy to show you anything you want to know
Pathologists are truly like this. I almost went for pathology just because of how chill, nice and enthusiastic they are.
Starting medical school this year and can’t tell you how excited I am to eventually start rotations. I love your videos Dr.G, they’ve been a fun and motivating inspiration for me. Can’t wait for your future videos. 😃
Some of my earliest memories are of peering at slides (as a toddler) while my father was busy.
The cereal box plus toilet paper rolls microscope is everything!!!!
Years ago I worked as a Committee Assistant to a variety of departmental and quality assurance committees. Pathologists were the nicest people around! They treated everyone like the most wonderful person they’d ever met. Urologists were close behind-they could tell some of the funniest stories that still make me grin when I think of them. I never worked with Ophthalmologists, but after watching your videos, I imagine they would have been in my top favorites!😊
Our pathology department at med uni has a different vibe, though I adore them nonetheless. But the cytogenetics lab at the hospital where I work is exactly like that - they’ve been essentially babysitting me ever since I started working, giving me candy and teaching me to tell chromosomes apart. I love them sm…
Once during my internship I had to go to patholgy department for some work and pathologist behavior was so full of warmth. I was really surprised bcoz you know how professors of clinical department behave😅😅
Just bought my first microscope to try and do photography with. It’s old and very used, but I love it.
rheumatology, genetics, and pathology look like the most interesting fields to me, outside of psych and nutrition.
My pathology department gave out free tours to staff on world pathology day. I'm a low level admin but they took the time out to give me a full private tour. They joked about opening up a virus lab sample, asked me my blood type and about how blood needed to be carefully matched and the market value. They also told me that powercuts are a menace to the department. All their equipment needs power so I they have back ip generators. What can I say, those guys are friendly but a little weird.
This is exactly what my interaction with a pathologist was like. Even the cocoa.
Who knew pathologists were so incredibly nice? That poor med student is incredibly confused, LOL!
My grandfather is a pathologist, this is SO ACCURATE
I’m in school to be a histology technician and this is so accurate lmao
Well if it isn't Tabitha (Chex edition)
😂😂 our pathology department is exactly like this, some of the liveliest and fun people I know!
I gotta say, Pathologists are always SO nice to talk to us. Be it a conversation above a disected dead body or a clinical-pathology presentation or just asking for images for a presentation!!! So kind!
Recorded on a beloved VHS
I want to visit pathologists now. They seem gosh darned adorable.
I’m telling you, you are hands down the funniest Doctor I have ever seen! Well, you’re the only funniest Doctor I’ve ever seen! I just found you a couple of weeks ago and I laugh to everyone of your videos! They are so good. Plus you have never ending content to choose from. (-;
He and @DocSchmidt are my faves!!!
This is exactly how it felt when I went along to look at frozen sections in the middle of a surgery case. Stark difference from the OR!
“What is happening?” Ded! That is so hilarious! Thank You, DGlaucomflecken!!!
Our pathologist is so nice. He always leaves us happy face stickers when we catch malignancies. I'm a lab tech btw. Also you are more than welcome to visit other parts of the lab, you can look at even more slides or look at wet mounts at hematology, urinalysis, and microbiology if you need to.
This is so funny because our Pathologists are all kind and friendly lol
Bro its videos like this that keep me motivated, life has been tough for me not even been able to go to school because of the state of my health but once ive recovered imma put in the work and try my best and hopefully become a doctor, keep up the good work!
It kinda reminds me in my pathology rotation, I shared a cup of tea with my mentor
this is exactly how I was treated when I did a rotation in Pathology dept. sat me down on a chair and offered me tea or coffee XDDDD
Can confirm. Went for a lab tour, ended up being hired for a student job. I didn't even apply.
😂 your role play is always so adorable and delightful, I can’t! 💀
THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE!!! OUR PATHOLOGY LECTURER RANDOMLY BOUGHT THE WHOLE CLASS REALLY EXPENSIVE CHOCOLATE CAKE ONE DAY WHEN I WAS A MED STUDENT. PATHOLOGISTS ARE SO NICE
Pathology and Family Medicine always ensure medical students are fed :)
Love the pathology's friendliness also Doc Glauc makes it sound like ASMR
"DocGlauc" sounds like a name from an Arfican tribe. Quite the clicky name.
My mother was one of the head pathologists at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Downtown OKC. Watching her work so hard for so many years was awe inspiring.
LOL, I was a lab assistant at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, and this guy nailed it. The docs love teaching and the old school Pathologists we’re amazing to cut in with. They are very kind to the new Residents.
Yeah the one´s I know are scarily friendly or slightly antisocial and grumpy, but they all are very smart and professional! :)
Love being a Pathologist ❤ And we are definitely that sweet you will feel like you are in a whole other world 😂
I just got a position in the pathology lab, just to do processing stuff but im so excited!!
I'm in vet med, but in my last hospital our pathologist was the nicest doctor, who never complained about all the questions we always had for her. Such a pleasure to work with her.
A nice change of pace for the med student
Such a change his head's spinning! 😄
The pathologist is so friendly and welcoming, but there's just something discomforting about being asked "Have you ever seen a basophil?" whilst raising your eyebrows😬😂
Basophils are The Coolest of the Cool. But eosinophils are so darned pretty.
I have to admit.... everyone in pathology was really nice and super enthusiastic when I went in for a shadowing opportunity. I thought it was just because I was excited about pathology.
Pathology lectures are the best. Absolute respect and adoration for pathology!
Feels like neurosurgery was sent to pathology for this life in order to balance his karma
So wholesome 🥰
My old man is a derm-path, and this gives me mixed feelings. On the one hand, he really is this kind and friendly to everyone who comes through. On the other hand, for most of me and my sisters' lives, he has been at work by 5.45am every morning, come home for dinner at 5pm, and been back at work from 6pm to 10pm. When our mother is out of town, he's often at work until midnight or 1am. He's been doing this for over 30 years. Most, not all, but most of his coworkers keep similar hours.
I love that you made a telescope out of a box and toilet paper rolls.
The microscope 😂😂
I just did a rotation in a veterinary pathology lab and whether it is human med or vet met, they're all exactly like this. So lovely.
I initially laughed at the... satire?? ...And then...it kept going...so I read the comments. My heart!! Oh I got all the warm fuzzies. I'm now happier to know of the kindly pathologists. 🥰👍
Literally on a path rotation right now and this is SO accurate. Pathologists are the nicest doctors I’ve worked with to date.
