Pathologists do a job that many of us feel deeply uneasy about. They are the linchpin of modern medicine. Their work involves searching out the roots of disease, designing the best treatment for the patient and diagnosing disease. They must dissect dead bodies, sample tissue and deal with life, disease and death in a way that most of us would prefer not to confront.
