Pathology is the study of disease. A pathologist, who is a medical doctor, looks at the causes of disease, how disease progresses and how disease affects the body. However, instead of examining the patient physically, a pathologist examines body fluids and tissue samples from that patient to help the primary physician make a diagnosis.

A doctor of pathology looks at tissue under a microscope to determine if it is normal or abnormal. You never meet them in the hospital because they are always in the lab in their own office reviewing slides and looking at tissue samples. They are the specialist (doctor) who tells your doctor if your biopsy is malignant or if your cells are normal. They diagnose diseases at the cellular level.

A pathologist does autopsies and many other diagnostic things. "Pathy" means diseased condition in medical terminology, so they figure out what goes, or has gone, wrong with us.
