...results of laboratory tests for both diagnosis and prescription, but 2,500 members of the American Academy of General Practice were warned in St. Louis last week that far too many of the test findings are not accurate, and some are downright wrong. Such test results, said Pathologist Louis S. Smith of Dallas, "can be responsible for a major number of prolongations of illness and some deaths." His suggested remedy: require more formal training for technicians, then pay them better (only 8½% now make $80 a week...
Dave Weyer neglected nothing. He found not three shot patterns, but four: one in the bathroom doorjamb and the bathroom itself, a second in the living-room ceiling, a third in the couch, the fourth in the pine-paneled hall. Then a defense pathologist discovered bits of flesh on the ceiling, found fragments of Violet's jacket in the gaping hole in the couch.

...lake's cold, glacier-fed depths came a corpse in what looked like surprisingly good repair. Legal delays prevented its examination for four days, and in those days it suffered more visible change than it had during its long immersion. Even so, the U.S. Army's Pathologist Walter Lentino was able to make some positive identifications...
Thanks to these findings, the body was identified as that of Major William V. Holohan, 40, the OSS agent who had mysteriously disappeared during a mission far behind the enemy lines in December 1944.* What fascinated Pathologist Lentino, as he now reports in the A.M.A. Journal, was the amazing state of preservation of the internal organs. As his trained eye looked at the organs, though they were six years dead, it was simple for him to identify instantly the stomach and heart, liver and spleen. But when he took specimens of them for laboratory examination, the microscope showed that...
...often said that early cancer is curable. Yet almost every doctor knows patients who discovered a tiny mass, had prompt treatment, but soon died from fast-spreading disease. Why? Main reason, says the University of Chicago's Pathologist Paul E. Steiner, is that "early" means many different things...
