Pathology is like the CSI of medicine… where they search for health criminals like bacterial and cancer. This fascinating work happens on a microscopic level! Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to get your biopsy results? Join me in the pathology lab to find out exactly what happens when a specimen is delivered from the operating room.
HUGE thank you to Janice, Cristina, Dr. Salehi, the pathology department and the medical lab technologists for making this video possible!

Thank you for the video! This is super cool! I’ve had multiple lumps removed and have always wondered what happened ot them after they “left” me hahahahaha
I just decided to become a Pharmacy Tech. I was going to be an OTA, but a variety of factors made me drop that course (some of them were the testing set up. ugh). in my area, Pharmacy Technician requires only an online, at-your-own pace course, and of course an exam for certification.
Studying American cancer is my favorite thing in the whole world
WOW As having had 3 breast cancers this is fascinating. The last one was found in the pathology after my mastectomy and this explains a lot!
This was a really comforting video. I lost my mom to inflammatory breast cancer. It is rare, hard to detect, and extremely aggressive. There is also very little known about it, because it is so uncommon. I will be vigilant in regular screenings as we have no idea if there is a genetic risk factor
Ahhhh this sent me back to my pathology internship many many years ago. Good times!
R2 D2 comment, by 2:51, cool
Very interesting also the staining process.
They make it look so easy! I made some slides of plant tissue in college lab and it takes a lot of math & fine motor skills. My spouse had a brain tumor removed and I knew that he agreed to have the tissue preserved for future research. It's so cool to know what happened to it after it was removed.
I waited 24 hours for my breast biopsy then I had bilateral mastectomies and reconstruction. Lymph nodes negative, mom, aunt and great grandmother all had breast cancer.
It makes me so happy hearing an intermal med and rheumatology specialist now instead of resident! So proud of you!!!
I really hope this patient doesn’t die because my great auntie died from breast cancer
The chaos in Dr. Salehi’s office is giving me anxiety 😅
Thank you for this – I had a partial mastectomy last year and they put 3 of those rods into me. Luckily my lymph nodes were far away from the area. My surgery was successful in that there were clean edges all around the tissue. I also had 20 radiation treatments after and I have just recently met with plastic surgery who will reduce my other breast to the size of the one that was operated on. I’ve also had 2 clean mammograms since.
I am 54 and I had had 2 prior mammograms with no indications. One day I just thought to myself…it’s been a while since I’ve had a mammogram – I should get one – out of the blue. Don’t ignore what your body tells you!
Oh – and I’m Canadian so all I paid for was a % of my pain meds for after the surgery – that’s it. ❤
Such an informative video on a topic rarely documented! You are incredible at all you do Siobhan!!!
im currently studying to become a lab technologist (and literally just finished the histopathology block) so it was really interesting to watch this and recognise so much of what we’re learning.
I also appreciate that you took the time to show everything going on inside the lab bc it’s often overlooked and a lot of people don’t realise how much work are actually going on "behind the scenes" in hospitals
I don't know if you, as an IM doctor, treats this, but I'd like you to explain Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). My dad's was cured in 5 minutes. A staff at my care home has been sick for weeks from it.
Great video as usual. That hospital looks so familiar 😉 , I have to take my dad there in a couple weeks for an appointment. If I see you there I'll say hi.
Thanks for another informative video!
Hi Shavonne! How are things going?
@Violin MDwhat is the code blue in a hospital
So it's normal to feel squeamish when we see body tissue and blood? Even for doctors? 🙂
