00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:04,799
(Army Col. Derron Alves) So every day, any case that 
comes into the Joint Pathology Center, whether it's

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:09,870
a military working dog or a
government-owned animal, those cases are

3
00:00:09,870 --> 00:00:12,480
presented around a multihead
microscope.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,720
(male speaker) ... OK, epithelial cells.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:20,100
(Army Col. Derron Alves) And even more so, we are also the sole
consultation service for service members' pets.

6
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:26,660
So, we diagnose those diseases, those tissues 
are sent to us and we make the diagnosis.

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,060
(Army Maj. Amanda Hauck) This dog, their 
concern is that it has cancer.

8
00:00:30,060 --> 00:00:35,340
(Army Col. Derron Alves) I think the most rewarding 
thing that I do about my job here is, I think pathology,

9
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:39,100
every day for me, is continuing medical
education.

10
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:40,880
(veterinary resident) ... Umm, hypercalcemia ...

00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:41,880
(Army Col. Derron Alves) Perfect. Beautiful.

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,800
I mean, there's nothing
better than to be able to solve a case

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:52,710
with a patient that cannot really speak,
and the ultimate thing is getting

13
00:00:52,710 --> 00:00:58,540
tissues that can then talk to you and
you can develop that diagnosis of what's

14
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,820
actually going on.
