I’m having lots of blood tests these days. These posts are really helpful for me to understand what goes on with my testing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

The funny thing is, I haven’t even touched the realm of “clinical pathology” , that deals with every single fluid test we can do on the body. It’s pretty shocking the amount of stuff I’ve had to learn, now that I think about it.

Learning about the Warthin-Starry stain features, seeing the slide indicating the H.

pyloric bacteria invading the gastric glands, was mesmerizing! 👏💜🤗

I really enjoy studying your pathology site.

Thank you!

My father thought he had an ulcer and was in a lot of pain. Then he was diagnosed with h.pylori and tools antibiotics for about two weeks and was fine

Exactly! It’s such a satisfying diagnosis to make because we know that the patient is going to feel a lot better in short order. And to think for decades the diagnosis was probably missed.

I quite love the story about how it was finally classed a definitive organism after the Dr tested it on himself to prove his theories!

It is a huge amount if information you have. There is so much to know. I’m researching my illness in a new direction. I’m having a rapid heme panel, lots to learn in a different direction.
