and to stop consumer discrimination related to preexisting medical conditions. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 32 million uninsured people will be insured by 2019. This will increase the volume of specimens and biopsies coming into pathology laboratories. Due to this increased volume, many large laboratories and hospitals will see a substantial increase in their revenue and hence increasing the demand for PAs. The low reimbursement rate of Affordable Care Act has forced many small labs

Life as a Resident Assistant In her first year as a Resident Assistant, Andrea Robinson received a Christmas card from a resident named Charlotte, thanking her for helping Charlotte adjust to her new life at college. Robinson recalled that Charlotte was overcome with homesickness, as many first time students can be, and to help boost her spirits, she went with Charlotte to an opening week picnic. That made a huge difference for Charlotte and her gratitude she conveyed in the card. But the
Immunization Program (NIIP) quickly became recognized as a failure, one reason being that the feared epidemic never surfaced at all. But this massive undertaking deserves more analysis than just a simple repudiation. For example, all evidence linked to the pathology, microbiology, and historical cycle of influenza and the outbreak at Fort Dix suggests that the reactions of the scientists and other personnel involved in the NIIP were correct. However, one must also acknowledge the many complications and misjudgments
examination of a body after death to determine the cause of death or the character and extent of changes produced by disease (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). It is often used as means to gather evidence, access trauma to bodies, and or diagnose diseases or pathology to a deceased person. It is often used in conjunction with police investigation in the quest for justice in the court system. This, sometimes, involves cutting into the body to retrieve evidence or determine the cause of death. Many times, this isn’t
Although autopsies may be a dreadful decision to make, it also can also be a very important decision to make. “Autopsies imply that certain questions pertain not only to the end of a project but also to the beginning of the next one: What happened, what was learned, and how could this be done better next time, says Richard A. Prayson. Even if the cause of death seems clear, the person may have had a medical condition, which was not apparent during life. In situations like this, an autopsy would
Kinley Finke Mrs. South Language 6 18 February 2014 A Career in Pathology A pathologist is a doctor who studies disease. They work in laboratories and they examine tissues and other samples in order to diagnose diseases. When they make a diagnosis, they share their findings with the doctor who is in charge of taking care of the patient who has the disease. With challenging diseases and conditions to examine, a pathologist learns something new every day. In order to become a pathologist, it takes
My passion for a career in Clinical laboratory science stems from a key experience with a li-censed Clinical laboratory scientist. On one day in the church , I was in dire need of help finding a job that can help me study medical in the future. For the first time I encountered professional-ism, knowledge, and humanity all at once. And this wasn’t a one-off experience. Each time I re-turned to the church, the exact same thing occurred: The Clinical laboratory scientist never seized to take the opportunity
I want the whole package when it comes to a residency. I want a rigorous well rounded program with a large number of diverse specimens and cases. I want the potential to specialize in neuropathology and forensic pathology. Research opportunities and support are also important to me. I want to make my impact on the world. I believe my work as a future pathologist will allow me to do just that to the full extent. In my family thus far we've all been successful in attaining
There are many pathologies present in the American bureaucracy and bureaucratic agencies. The major pathologies are red tape, conflict, duplication, imperialism, and waste. Each of these pathologies had at least some sort of roots in the case of the 9/11/01 terrorist attack. Had these pathologies not been prominent in the pre-9/11 bureaucratic government, it is very likely that our intelligence communities would not have failed to detect the terrorists. The first and quite possibly the most prominent

If you are a people person, you might even be interested in teaching
4- Black Hairy Tongue -Characterized by the elongation and hyperkeratosis of the filiform papillae, resulting in this hairlike appearance. The elongated papillae usually exhibit brown, yellow, or black pigmentation. Most patients are asymptomatic, but occasionally patients complain of irritation, gagging, or an altered taste. Patients are usually heavy smokers with poor oral hygiene and some have vitamin deficiencies, GI problems, or radiation therapy. Cures range from just brushing the tongue to
A medical lab technician’s collect samples and perform tests to analyze body fluids, tissues, and other substances. Medical Lab Technician or MLT share many important milestones with the history of medicine itself. For instance, both fields can claim as their founder Aristotle, the father of biology and physiology. An MLT must have a two-year associate degree, and must obtain this education through a program accredited by the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science. While most MLT’s earn
From my early years at the Belarusian State Medical University, I remember thinking of pathology as something that was almost magical – the ability to discover the underlying roots of diseases when experienced surgeons, oncologists, and cardiologists were not able to find a solution – therefore, it was natural that I felt drawn to it. I quickly developed an insatiable curiosity and unyielding fascination with it and decided to be a pathologist; once it became clear to me that this is what I wanted
There are two things in life that are inevitable: death and taxes. The coroner system was founded upon both of those undeniable facts of life. The kings of the middle ages initially created the position of a coroner to investigate the suspicious deaths of people and also to collect the death tax on the deceased’s estate. In the United States, we have two positions that work in the field of death investigating, obviously the coroner and the medical examiner. These positions are widely different in
