Hi,
I recently had an upper endoscopy (tube into esophagus and stomach to look for problems with acid reflux, etc.).
This was a follow-up to one that I had 3 years ago as I have chronic reflux issues apparently.
When I received the pathology report today for the biopsies taken, the microscopic description for the esophageal section describing the inflammation, esophagitis was 'WORD FOR WORD' VERBATIM EXACTLY WRITTEN THE SAME as the microscopic description from 3 years ago.
And it is a few sentences long and very detailed in its language used.
Is it possible that the the pathology is EXACTLY the same. How would a different pathologist know to use the exact same language VERBATIM.
Did they really do their job here and complete the pathology correctly or are their some type of templates / macro that they click on that just "pop" up the same verbiage for similar reflux conditions. ?
Any thoughts anyone has would be most appreciated !
Thanks!
Regards,
Rich Mansfield
