      Sadly, none that I know of. Once I pass the prepared material to a pathologist I will seldom (if ever!) know the outcome for the patient. But I can sometimes take an educated guess!
      If you mean like “cured” cured – that I leave to research scientists, like those working on new drugs and vaccines.

      I don’t cure, I treat diseases! Things like trauma, infection, organ failure is what I deal with usually

      None unfortunately 🙁 but I’d love to work somewhere like Cancer Research UK and help come up with treatments that could cure.
