Pathlore
As the light fades
And darkness takes over
We go to war with time and power
Microscope comes to aid
All alone standing in chaos
We stay strong and try to mitigate the loss
We face spite
Not only by patients,
But also our colleagues to my delight
Let me tell you, how it goes
Our world is pink and blue
As we search for the clue
A routine check up, A CBC glows!
From infections to malignancies
It picks up all the tendencies
Another thing we do
Is differentiate benign and malignant
And isn’t it elegant?
We start our adventure
Fueled with coffee and tea
A microscopic picture is all we see
We count the cells, the story tells
Sometimes quiet and sometimes loud
We call for history when in doubt
Imaging and clinical presentation
Do play a role
To reach the final goal
Once we reach the diagnosis
You would think our job is done
Our story has just begun
Now comes the prognosis
Immunohistochemistry, genetics, molecular and flow
Paint a bigger picture as we go
While making the fine adjustments
Towards the end, I must say
Pathology is cool every step of the way
To my dear clinicans,
You need it to know the cause
And to overcome any pause
It knows no limits,
Changes every waking minute
Keeps us on our toes, But it’s the life I chose.
