    Yes, you will need your Doctorate to be a pathologist as a pathologist is a medical doctor who examines tissues and organs, etc.

    You can read all about it here at the American Society for Clinical Pathology

    You can get a bachelor's in anything. You can get a bachelor's in english and still go to medical school. All you need to be a pathologist... is to go to medical school.

    As far as... what degrees will "help" being a pathologist... you can try things like biology, neuroscience, global health, etc. however, anything will do.

    For example, I'm a mathematics/physics double major. I'm still going to medical school to be a surgeon.
