Mona...i always have my scans done at the same place and read by the same pathologist. I learned that one the hard way...one newer pathologist not familiar with the Indiana Pouch actually said i had gallstones....I called my regular pathologist to please re-check and he called me back and reassured me that NO indeed i did not have gallstones and that the pathologist wasn't familiar with the pouch!...As a backup i also send my scans to my original surgeon at The Cleveland Clinic just to make sure everyone is on the same page.
It sometimes takes forever for them to get on the right desk but eventually they do!! Its interesting but i've found that most doctors know who the best pathologists are.....thankfully my internist led me to the one who usually gets it right.
My motto always ...second opinion...whether it be surgeon or pathologist. Makes me real popular.........
