	Welcome to PPEP-APMG Mentoring Program
		Residency training may prepare a pathologist for some of the diagnostic challenges they are certain to face, but no specific training can be found to teach the nuances of negotiating a business contract or deftly maneuvering through thorny issues at a medical staff meeting.
		As a result, at the end of four years, a bewildered pathologist is presented before the APMG shareholders and asked to give an account of their activities in order to justify to the group why they deserve to be elevated to shareholder status.
		It is a program to help each new pathologist gain a fresh insight of their abilities and develop skills that may have lain dormant or unrealized.

	Autopsy
		A pathologist is a physician with a specialty in the scientific study of body parts.
		Some pathologists are paid by the case, and the hospital might pass the pathologist's reimbursement along to the family, though this seems wrong to me. At a large hospital with full-time salaried pathologists and technicians, I am surprised to hear of anyone being charged.
		Another pathologist is cutting the cartilages that join the ribs to the breastbone, in order to be able to enter the chest cavity.

		As Death straddles the Jungian snake amid a horde of rats on the morgue floor -- symbolic of the carriers of the disease that caused the plagues of earlier times -- he points an accusatory finger at the doctor and his assistants.
		Notice the autopsy knife, which the pathologist has dropped on the floor in fright.

	USATODAY.com - Army pathologist concedes errors in prisoner-abuse case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Paulus, 35, is accused of ordering one of his men to drag Nagem Hatab by his neck after the Iraqi prisoner suffered a bout of diarrhea and collapsed in June 2003 at a makeshift detention facility outside Nasiriyah, Iraq, known as Camp Whitehorse.
		Perhaps the central piece of evidence — a broken bone Ingwersen noted in the throat of the Iraqi prisoner — remains missing.
		The broken bone supports the pathologist's finding that Hatab was strangled, but Ingwersen said she has no idea where it is. She said medication she took for an allergic reaction to sand fly bites during her trip to Iraq may have affected her memory.
