70% of medical decisions rely on pathology!
Pathology is a medical specialty that determines the cause and nature of diseases by examining and testing body tissues (from biopsies and pap smears, for example) and bodily fluids (from samples including blood and urine). The results from these pathology tests help doctors diagnose and treat patients correctly.
Every Australian receives their first pathology test just days after they are born. It is a blood test that screens for serious genetic conditions.
From then on we rely on blood tests, biopsies and a multitude of other pathology tests to prevent, diagnose and treat infections, allergies, chronic diseases, cancers and countless other medical conditions.
When was the last time you had blood collected, or had to pee into a cup? There is a chance your sample came to one of the large laboratories on this street, one of which is very visible from GZ. Inside the "Lab" your sample will go to different departments depending on what kind of testing you need. For examples haematology will look at counting red and white blood cells; biochemistry will test your glucose, liver function and hormones; histopathology will look at your excised mole; and microbiology will test for bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance.
