Dedicated to all the lovely pathologists, who work selflessly with passion and hard work

contributing to this diagnostic field of medicine, just like a mother nurtures her kids.

Please take a minute or two off from your busy lives to hear from none other than…..

MAMA PATH

 

Hi lovely doctors, Mama Path is my name

Undoubtedly toady I’m of worldwide fame;

With my little children held tight in my Arm

No branch of medicine can do me the minutest harm!!

 

Hi I’m Mr.Haemat as the pathologists like to say

Analyzers and smears always queued in a tray

Without me in any hospital lab never goes a day;

From Monos to neutros and lymphos so blue

From lilac RBCs to tiny platelets it’s Mr.Leishmann who gives me my hue;

At times monotonous & mundane I may seem

But hey, I’m every lab’s bread & butter so don’t be so mean!!

 

Gracias all….at your service is Ms.Cyto

To study the cells of body the fluids are spun

Pap smears in life I’ve seen a ton;

FNA is a jewel in my crown

When it’s guided at times it does makes you frown;

Without me are lost the surgeons’ Knives

Coz  ’m their guide before operations saving precious lives

 

Hi I’m Mr.Urine now ringing the bell

Though at times I have an unpleasant smell

Myriad of things about the human body I can tell;

RBCs to Epithelial cells, crystals to cast

On the pathologists favourite list I’m always last;

With slender strips the technicians run the show

Come may the genetic era but out of lab I will never go!!

 

A big rotary wave from Mr.Histo to all

Xylene, alcohol, acetone, and wax I love them all

But my bestie is formalin whose fumes make me fall;

Surrounded by spatula, microtome and sections so thin

Specimens so weird that make one’s head spin;

Benign to malignant an array of challenging lesions I view

Before the final report to his chair for hours the pathologist has to glue

 

Fellows out there I’m Ms.Autospy

I’m kinda Zombi coz the dead are my world

Without me the cause of death at times is blurred;

Lungs to heart and kidneys when chopped

There is always an interesting finding that has cropped;

I teach you to honour the dead

For the soul for whom many a tear their dears would have shed!!

 

Time now to introduce my newer little seeds

Coz the field of diagnostics has grown like wild weeds

A bright future to pathology being guaranteed;

IHC, molecular labs & digitalization leading the way

Liquid biopsy and genomics are also seeing light of the day;

I have now evolved into many steams

With me around the patients are no more in gleam

 

This is my family and as I continue to grow

Seeds of advancement and hopes I sow;

For me every sample has a story to say

And that’s exactly why Im here to stay………….

 

Yours

Mama Path
