Parandzem Khachatryan: Do You Agree That a Doctor’s Greatest Strength is Not Their Skill, But Their Curiosity?
Parandzem Khachatryan, Acting Chair of The Department of Pathology at Yerevan State Medical University named after Mkhitar Heratsi, shared on LinkedIn:
”Do you agree that a doctor’s greatest strength is not their skill, but their curiosity?
For me, it started much earlier.
As a child, I was the one who always asked “why?” and I never stopped at the first answer.
I wanted to understand how the body works, what makes it break, and what happens inside when something goes wrong.
That curiosity stayed with me for years, quietly growing in the background.
When the time came to choose a path, medicine felt like the only place where my questions could finally meet real answers.
But even in medical school, I noticed something about myself.
I was not only interested in diagnosing patients, but also obsessed with understanding diagnoses at the deepest level.
What drives this disease, and how do the cells respond?
That is when pathology stopped being “just another subject” and became something more.
A world where science meets medicine, where every slide has a story, and where answers are not guessed; they are seen.
Pathology did not feel like a decision. It felt like recognition.
Like finding the place where my curiosity truly belongs.
And honestly, I do not think this is just a career for me.
It is a lifelong love.
We are the clinical scientists who give the final, absolute answer.
Have you heard about Pathology, Yes or No?”
