We see our laboratory results, in conjunction with the doctors' clinical judgements, leading to a diagnosis which in turn leads to appropriate treatment and patient cure or at least patient care and comfort. Every person working in this laboratory sees his or her place in this context of patient care in association with the referring doctor. To us, the patient is an individual in whom we are interested to attempt a diagnosis, especially when results are abnormal. We ask the referring doctor for collaboration in this diagnostic process by way of some words of history. Note well that a pathologist reads and signs every report, and may add a comment as appropriate.
