Dr. Amer Abu Alfa tells us how the liver is like Venice, how pathologists are sometimes misunderstood, and how the gut is like the ”small brain”

On this episode of GMM, we are joined by anatomic pathologist Dr. Amer Abu Alfa. We explore how pathologists find beauty in their work, from the artistry of pathology slides to the patterns they recognize that others might miss. The discussion delves into misconceptions about pathology portrayed in media, the profound role of the gut in human health, and what science still has yet to uncover about the “second brain.”
