halt.

So, what exactly are hematopathologists
and what makes them so essential?

The American Association of Medical
Colleges calls hematopathologists like
Freeman “truly the doctor’s doctor, be-
cause they are board-certified in both clin-
ical and anatomical pathology,” and it says
“they form the basis of every physician’s
thinking about the patient.”

Freeman puts it even more simply:
“We’re the doctors that patients don’t see.
We don’t go for the glamor. We like to stay
in the back.”

“The lab,” Freeman continues, “is be-
hind the scenes in the hospital. But with-
out the lab, the hospital would be un-
able to function. Every time you get your
blood drawn, a CBC, chemistry, or they
check your white cells or your red cells,
that’s all done here in the lab.”

‘BRAS FOR THE CAUSE’

A spectacular “Bras for the Cause” fundraiser was held by the HOA

members at the RV Resort at St. Lucie West recently. Port St. Lucie May-

or Gregory Oravec and Theresa Woodson of the Making Strides Against

Breast Cancer group opened the festivities with personal, emotional

and informational remarks and statistics on breast cancer.

Twenty-five members created bras to wear and model. The bras were

beautiful, whimsical, flashy, comical, and all works of art and engi-

neering. Murphy Smilardo was the auctioneer, and by evening’s end

$27,000 was raised from the auction and donations by members and

guests. Approximately 75 percent of the total moneys will stay in St.

Lucie County for patient services; the remaining 25 percent is designat-

ed for Breast Cancer Research. Also, the Friends in Pink organization

will receive donated bras for their underinsured breast-cancer clients.

Many hours of work by committee members and a host of volunteers

made this a successful fundraiser to help the fight against breast can-

cer. Smallcakes in Port St. Lucie supplied a beautiful display of tasty

treats, and DGA Inc. of Fort Pierce added foliage planters to the decora-

tions in the clubhouse.  ­– CONTRIBUTED
