Harrison YR 1995 UL http://www.cmaj.ca/content/153/6/805.abstract AB Laboratory medicine is a troubled specialty these days, buffeted by the conflicting pressures of reduced funding for more work and a declining physician population. A consortium of laboratory physicians has produced a report on the future of pathology and laboratory medicine, which explores the problems facing the specialties and some potential solutions.
