This question came up on a survey last night (PD = Parkinson's Disease):
I really love the 5th answer. In all honesty, I can't recall ever having received a patient referral from a pathologist.
Which is probably good.

Perhaps pathologists will be made aware of your penchant for extraordinary healing, as evidenced by the wheelchair-to-walker miracle you performed, thus necessitating this category on the survey?
Um, given that I had a pathology test on a lump removed from my body, and, last I checked, I'm still alive (maybe):
Wouldn't a neuropathologist be someone who did things like tested sections of brain tissue removed to test for various diseases or maybe cancer or something?
I'm just guessing here, you're the one who went to medical school. I went to Kristy's Klown Kollege and did my grad work at the Mad Cow Ranch School for Fine Cooking.
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

If the dead can vote in Chicago, why should't they be able to consult you in Grumpyville?

I'm with Anonymous, above. Word gets out, people talk. Pretty soon there's going to be a line at your office longer than the $5 window at the track.
@Moose:
The region affected in Parkinson's Disease is deep within the brain. The only tissue biopsy available is from an autopsy.
Zombie time!

But think of the zombies with Parkinson's disease ...
