What Is A Pathologist?
The word pathology originates from the Greek words pathema meaning disease, and logos meaning study. A pathologist studies the nature and cause of disease by diagnosing abnormalities in tissue or bone. Medical clinicians depend on precise and timely results from pathologists to accurately diagnose and treat a variety of patient diseases.

Why might I receive a bill from Piedmont Pathology when I have never even been there?
