From my notes...

    Bustamante's lecturing during lab:
  • --Anyone think these look like endometrial glands? They look like glands, they're closely packed, and they're purple...
  • After talking us through the differential diagnosis of a slide that she thought was mislabelled and then checking the sheet to find she'd been looking at the wrong number: Gee, I got this one right on my own...
  • Czaja sticks his head in. Am I interrupting here? Bustamante: Yes.
  • On pathology lab:
  • They say, "The first thing we do is look at it grossly" - didn't they just cut it off something?
  • Czaja: There are a couple of phsyicians out there who are just super-assholes.
  • Scott: How does a pathologist's day go bad? Czaja: You'd be surprised.
  • Czaja: If someone shows you this slide and tries to tell you it's cancer, you can laugh at them. "Ha!" Like that.
  • It's been declining over the last six decades for about fifteen years now...
  • Just don't try to think too hard in medicine in general.
  • This is a pathology course. There's nothing practical about it.
