They never complain as much as the people on SDN.
If you get a decent paying job (250k+) and work with good normal people with job security, pathology can be a good field. They get to go home at 3 pm just as long as they get their quota done. There are people who are happy in Pathology including friends who work for Quest. They seem happy (or at least they don’t look miserable). To be fair, There are people who have good, but busy, high paying jobs.

Oh, and I didn't mention that our professional organizations are completely feckless in mitigating any of the above and probably, just like everything else, just interested in making a buck off of managing the decline of our specialty. Why you ask? Complete and total oversupply of pathologists, many of them sub-standardly trained but willing to work at any price, cheapening the field overall. Pathology is the only specialty in medicine where other physicians can skim your professional reimbursement, sometimes up to 50%. Add to the mix other physician specialties (dermatology, urology, GI) building competing AP laboratories to not only self refer to themselves, but also entitle themselves to a percentage of your professional reimbursement as a condition of "referring" the professional work to you. If the question is "will you have financial equity for your work?" and "will I be able to find a job or career on my own terms and at a time and place largely of my own choosing?", the answer is more than likely no.īriefly, Pathology as a field is going to suffer repeated cuts to professional reimbursement. If the question is "will you have a job in pathology?" the answer is yes.
