    Exactly. God I hate it so much. I had a spot exam in hist just b4 we broke up for xmas. I don't get the results until we get back in Jan. I have to pass it though if I want to proceed to next year. I think it has relevance to medicine otherwise why would medics be required to do histology. We just have to like it. It's not hard to be honest but it could be frustrating not to be able to discern collagen from elastin on a slide.

    I can't wait to be a medical student. It's going to be a wonderful experience!!!

    Histology is important for distinguishing between normal tissue and recognising oncogenesis for example. It is boring but its just one of those things...

    ok, so its hard and the pink dots all look the same (i'm simplifying greatly here!)

    but its an amazingly simple way to diagnose conditions and perhaps the development of others............take cervical screening for example - where pre-cancerous changes can be detected.

    its also used to determine the treatment options in other conditions, for example cancers, if it appears to be histologically invasive etc.

    You do like, 1 year of barely any histology.
    Then a second year of perhaps 2 lectures max on histology.

    Is it *really* that difficult?
    Really?

    Oh, and groundwork for budding pathologists, maybe? Dunno, it bores me to ass, but we've gotta do it
