Yes, very true. Pathology might not be in the spotlight, but without it, no treatment can start properly. I always feel amazed how just a blood test or one biopsy can reveal so much. It’s like decoding hidden clues in the body. Most people don’t realise how important lab work is until they face a situation where it matters.
Behind every diagnosis, there’s a pathologist working silently — and that deserves more recognition.
