- Hi guys
I know it's been a while I missed you guys man. So I joined the Lab space and I'm a registrar specializing in Clinical Pathology. I had a hard time adjusting. A lot of exams and reading wethu. I'll try post as much as I can.
In this video I just take you through what happens on call, mainly authorizing. Work during working hours is slightly different. There is a bit of a clinical aspect (day ward where dynamic function tests are performed. The interaction there is mainly with Endocrinologists.

I was also with the nhls in Anatomical pathology I love it so much did my honours with DGM and went to CMJAH (loved the work loud too😂😂) for internship as a scientist I loved it so much but had to resign 3 months before internship completion for MBChB, my superviors (pathologist) from both institutions always tell me that I am going to come back as a reg, and I keep saying NO!!😂 because apparently I was doing well in it, I love the Lab dont get me wrong my time with anat path gave me some sense of purpose, but I believe I have served enough there.... the hospital visits I had during my rotations in different hospitals, theatres and departments haunted me, I remember how I used to tour these hospitals because they made me so happy but I always felt I belong on the other side of the table😊
Also Congratulation on your reg post, hope you enjoy every minute of it Doc❤❤❤❤
Congratulations on getting into medicine. The labs are a good place. The hospital setting can give you so much anxiety 😅🤣🤣🤞🏾🤞🏾. The nice thing about the path you took is that you have an advantage over alot of people when it comes to getting a reg post in the future because you have experience. I say go back when you're done, Anat path is in high demand🤞🏾.... all the best 🥳🤗
@@DrAnn_Healthhub Thanks Dr❤️❤️❤️
We missed you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You keep on broadening my perspective on medicine. There are soo many options and opportunities but again you got to put in the work and make relevant connections 🙌🏾.

Yooo Clinical pathology - Already those desciplines on their own are something else imagine all of them Anapath, Chempath, Micro 🥺🥺🥺 - im also considering Laboratory Medicine im tired of Clinical medicine - fed up… ur
I hate those 4-6hrs wardround wen u ddnt even nap the whole night.
what do u think of Radiology?
Luckily managed to change to my first choice chem path. I think the rotating is crazy but people manage with those clin path rotations (micro chem and haem)🤞🏾. Radiology is also a really good one. You must be good with anatomy, and they say there's a bit of physics in it also. I hated ward rounds too yhooo😅😅 the walking around and actually part taking in physical labour😪. I'd rather use my brain🤣🤣🤣
shes baaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkkk!!!!!!
Yaaaaassssssss🤸🤸🤸🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️
Hi Dr Ann
I’m so grateful for your content 🌸
There’s such limited info out there esp regarding pathology 😢
May I please ask a few questions 😅
1. Are there MO posts to work in the labs?
2. What other short courses/ diplomas can I do to increase my chances for a pathology reg post? I realised I won’t meet the requirements for the HIV Diploma 😢
3. Do they ask pathology related questions in the interview?
4. What books/resources can I check out to give me an overview of what I can expect from pathology
Hi...
1. There aren't any MO posts only comserve posts. People who are likely to get these are non govt.bursary holders but you can try your luck.
2. Coming in from clinical an advantage is undergrad in science (e.g BSc people who ddnt get into medicine straight), HIV Dip, I also think DipEC and Dip Internal med or fam med should be an advantage. Research experience is Bonus or Research (See FPD)/ Statistics course.
3. I have experience with chemical pathology and Clinical pathology (not too sure about haem and micro or anat path pathology but ill try find out). So in their interviews they ask normal stuff like what's the NHLS, role etc - they also ask clinical cases like Approach to DKA/ Anemia mainly history, exam and investigations. Then they ask lab related questions that you'll only know if you've either been in a lab or spoken to someone who knows the lab. You have to go visit a lab preferably the center you want to get into so that they see your dedication even for 1 week before you get interviewed. This is not mandatory I didn't do it. I just spoke to Lab technologists in rural hospital lab and registrar's who got in.
5. No books really. Your undergrad notes/ UCT notes should be okay especially blocks taught by the respective pathology field you want like chem path or haem etc.
Coming from clinical, nothing can prepare you for the lab space it's so different. You are, however, able to see the impact and role you play in diagnostics. Over 70% or diagnoses are made from lab results, which just goes to show the impact the lab plays in not only management but also treatment and monitoring of patients. It's interesting. I love it. I didn't know I did until I tried it 🤗
@@DrAnn_Healthhub Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ you’re constantly teaching me so much and opening my mind to so many things i didn’t know/never thought of. 💐💐 Please keep on blessing us with your content 🥹
I want to do forensic pathology, but a part of me is scared😩 and I also don't know where to start.
Do it🔆🎉🤗. There's a shortage in SA. There's also MO posts available if you want a trial run🤞🏽
@@DrAnn_Healthhub Thank you. I'll go for it🤌😉
Hi Dr Ann. As a reg in pathology/lab , does one get paid?
Yes... it's the same as all registrars in other specialities (clinical)
Hi doc is it possible for doctors to work like in a one hospital for the rest his/her life without being relocated?
Yes... when you have a permanent medical officer post.
Yes its possible- i knw one who did Intern, comsev now MO in the same hospital
Soft life🎉I want to do anatomical pathology. Did u say there are NO Primaries????
No primaries you literally just have to try get in🔆🤸🎉
Hi. Please come over to Anat Path 😄🎉
@@Maseakganeim considering Anapath as well - like clinical medicine is tiring - im fed up
Hey doc, if you are interested in internal medicine, would doing your com serve in the lab be beneficial?
Hey so what I've heard is that it's hard to go back to clinical after starting in the labs. The interviews are very clinical and after a year you find one has forgotten things of management etc...
Ohh that makes sense … thanks doc.
In terms of studying … does working in lab give you flexible hours?
During reg time they're strict. You come in at 8 and leave 16h30. You can't really dodge 🤭. The flexibility however is after specializing. 1 day off-site in a week. No calls. The quality of life is definitely better.
Hi Dr am studying Medical Lababoratory science to be a medical Scientist am in my second year. I would love to Study medicine, if i do medicine with this qualification would i be a pathologist?
Hi... so you would have to specialize for 4-5 years to become a pathologist. Your undergrad degree would only assist you in getting a registrar (specialization post) because you have an advantage over people with no experience in the field😉
Is it possible for a person to do a com serve in a lab?😮
Yessss👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 they are living their best lives. No calls at all and they get their full overtime🤞🏽😜
Yoooh! I wasn't aware of that...... So is Clinical pathology the same as Chemical pathology?
@@nkunzemnyama as clinical path registrar you rotate in chemical pathology, haematology and microbiology and write an exam for all 3
