一笑 is obviously a very conscientious pathologist working at a community hospital not affiliated with medical school. His/her points are very true from a certain perspective. Pathology practice is very different between a medical center and a rural community hospital. The difference in available resources is so great that it can be very depressing. Getting depressed is not easy to avoid, especially for observant pathologists like 一笑. However, depression should not stop us from working to improve the situation. In fact the situation should stimulate all of us to strive for better. I cannot offer any practical solution to improve the system over a short period of time, but I do what I can to facilitate quality educational exchange via the internet. I, for one, will not accept any honorarium or renumeration for my lectures given on the internet. They are purely a gift or feedback from me to the community I love. And I am certain I am not alone.
