Today I'm joined by Dr Tom who is a Pathology Registrar. Pathology is field of medicine that I know little about and it was great to have this discussion as he explained why he loves pathology and what the training pathway entails (00:40). We then discuss a stress that is unique to Pathology and that is having to make "Definitive decisions" (11:02). Tom then lays out the biggest challenges of the pathology program (29:07). This leads into a bigger conversation about sacrifice in medicine and Tom Journey from wanting to do Orthopaedics and changing his career pathway based on his own reflection (33:19). I learnt a lot in this conversation and I hope you do too. Having insight into other people specialities allows to appreciate them on a different level. I want to thank Tom for taking the time to join me for this conversation. As always thanks for listening!
