title: Guiding the pulmonologist's hand: What they need to know about lung pathology and what is lost in translation.
abstract: Increasing subspecialization in the practice of medicine has led to certain discrepancies in how pathologists and pulmonologists imagine lung disease. This article, written by a pathologist who also practices pulmonology at a large, academic hospital, highlights his perspective on the important role of the pathologist in guiding the hand of the pulmonary clinician.
