Hello! I'm José, an IMG from Colombia 🇨🇴 applying for #PathMatch2024.
I have dreamed about making this post for many years. I want to express my gratitude to the remarkable professionals in the field of pathology who have guided me to this point.

In loving memory of @AlbertoCalleMd . 🤍🩵
Dr Alberto was an Ecuadorian IMG and anesthesiology resident in the United States 🇺🇸. He worked incredibly hard to follow this path. Even while facing stomach cancer, he studied for the USMLE, earned his certification, matched into anesthesiology, and became a senior resident.
When his illness required him to take time away from residency, he faced uncertainty about his visa. He reached out to me on WhatsApp and @ProjectImg advocated for Alberto and supported his efforts with @ECFMG_J1 to continue his training.
We were grateful to know him and stand beside him. 🙏
Our hearts are with his family, friends, and everyone who loved him. We will remember his smile, his love of music, and the dedication with which he pursued his dream.
We will miss you, Alberto. Rest in peace. 🤍🩵 🇪🇨

"Granulation tissue" is called like that because it forms small granules due to new vessel formation during the wound healing repair. Under the microscope, it looks like what you see in these pictures. #Pathology #GranulationTissue

Weekly Update: I had a piece of bone removed from the exposed jaw inside my mouth today. I'm hoping not to repeat this experience but I think that is inevitable, really. If you can please consider sharing my story and help to support my GoFundMe then I'd be very grateful.

After my 13 year old Daughter died from #BrainCancer one of the most difficult question you seem to get asked often… “How many children do you have?” “Here we go again” is my thinking & my head starts going a million miles an hour bc I know, any second now, I will be reliving my precious Daughters cancer battle. My answer is always “I have four Children and one of them is in Heaven.” It’s an answer that used to be difficult to answer because most likely, I will get a follow up question. “What happened to your Child?”
One thing is for sure. I will never leave my Ashley out! I’m proud of my Ashley, love talking about her amazing life & all that she is still accomplishing.
If you have a Child that died, always include them, even if it’s difficult to be reminded. They lived & had a purpose.
Please follow Cancer Response Team (@Nonprofit4Kids), Repost & do whatever you can to fight for justice for those who do not have a voice. 🎗️

In medicine we don’t say “tap & hold to load in 4k”, we ask pathologists to explain slides to us at tumor board and I think that’s beautiful

Today, I walked again. I walk, not only for me and my family, but for those who are battling ALS. I walk for all of those we have lost to this horrible disease. I walk for caregivers past, present, and future. I walk so that the world can see us fighting.
