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
