BXBX NOVEL Chapter 419: 【419】What is a pathologist
A group of teachers heard what the parents of the students said and didn't know how to continue.
"Auntie." Every time Xie Wanying thought of what Second Senior Sister said last night, she always felt the same way and tried her best to give her own example, "Not everyone in my family supports me in studying medicine."
Like her father and her grandfather, no one thought she was a good doctor. If a girl wastes eight years studying medicine, it is better to go to a normal school with subsidies. Besides, the most important thing for a girl to marry is, it doesn't matter if a girl is a doctor or not. Boys' careers are important.
"But my mother supports me. She has read medicine herself and knows that this road is difficult, and she knows that it is very difficult for me to study this. She hesitated, but later learned that I was studying medicine and I was very happy, and she was happy with me. No matter what. How to make her own children happy. That's what she thinks as a mother. I'm sure Auntie is the same as my mother."
Aunt Zhang said: "Of course I am like your mother, for her own good. What's wrong with going abroad? Everyone knows that going abroad is good. Not everyone has this condition to go abroad? I don't want her to give up medicine and go abroad to do medicine. Is it not good?"
"But Second Senior Sister is not happy when she went abroad. Auntie, do you have to let her continue to go out?"
"You don't understand, the conditions of the foreign laboratory are so good that she can make greater achievements and contribute to all mankind."
"Auntie, maybe you don't know that what the second sister wants to be a pathologist. Pathologists in foreign countries are the same as those in China, they belong to clinicians. Their greatest value lies in clinical practice. The second sister has only one goal after reading the book for so many years. , saving lives in the clinic, not staying in the lab. If she wants to stay in the lab, she doesn't need to waste all this time."
"What clinic, what laboratory? Is it different?" Aunt Zhang asked in a hurry.
"It's different. Clinicians go to the clinic and serve patients directly. When doing research in the laboratory, people stay in the laboratory, even if they occasionally go out to contact patients, they are not responsible for treating patients. The two types of jobs have their own characteristics. It is impossible to say which value is higher and which is lower. Everyone is happy with the major results of laboratory research. But there is no clinical medicine to provide individualized treatment for patients, how can it be done? Laboratory research results, there are always some special cases in clinical practice. Unexpected patients can't be used. So there is no one research that can benefit all mankind, there are always deviations."
Aunt Zhang's throat was a little stuck. Obviously, she didn't understand medicine or laboratory research, and she belonged to the kind of person who listens to whoever says good is good.
Seeing the opportunity, Xie Wanying talked to the other party, hoping to help the second sister: "The greatest pride of pathologists is that they can accurately diagnose the cause of the patient in time. Do you think that only the diagnosis of malignant tumor is enough for cancer? Like breast cancer patients, if Being able to test estrogen and progesterone receptors in tumor tissue can help clinicians determine whether to take endocrine therapy. For the patient, it is one more way of life. Tumor patients can undergo multiple biopsies and compare before and after treatment to determine which treatment plan is right for them. It works best for patients. There are more and more cancer patients and more rare diseases are being diagnosed, thanks to the contribution of pathologists to each individual patient.”
