The Final Diagnosis A look at the workings of a modern day hospital through the lens of the pathologists department. “As is your pathology, so is your practice,” said Sir William Osler, the philosopher-physician over 100 years ago. While today some may not entirely agree with the sweeping generalisation of the statement, it remains a fact that pathology forms the bedrock of medicine. Arthur Hailey, too, recognised this fact when he wrote The Final Diagnosis in 1959. While most novels and movies dealing with medicine revolve around clinicians, particularly surgeons, Hailey decided to make the department of pathology and the pathologist the core of the action. Surgeons and other physicians in the hospital are, of course, important players; they have to be, because, after all, pathology makes its existence felt after the surgeon has made the first move.
