I was simply crediting the teacher, pathologist and student for working together to learn about pathology, and it had a good results in Jessica discovered her condition. We all know pathologists are often overworked, and everyone can use a little help at times. I think everyone deserves credit for coming together, and I hope there isn't a lawsuit or punishment in this situation. I think that these kids will remember this experience, and be more interested in the sciences because of their personal experience.
