Good news! I have been doing autopsies, ALL BY MYSELF! (I'm such a big boy) The only part that I havent done yet is the skull, but I think I'll ask if I can do that soon. Eventhough I havent seen any cool pathology recently, it's great being able to do a procedure from beginning to end. Do you have any idea how many people OD in this state?!?! Jesus, it's like an epidemic... and they aren't skinny heroine-chic drug addicts either, these are corn-fed, BMI of 35+ drug users.
Besides the drug deaths and myocardial infarctions secondary to coronary artery disease and hypertension, I did see a case where the person was in a car accident, but refused treatment, only to return the next day complaining of neck pain, was diagnosed with multiple cervicle fractures (including C1) only to refuse treatment again, return the following day where they were admitted, died, and was then downstairs within a matter of hours. There are several words I could use to describe this person, one starts with "fuckingstupid", they other with "fuckingmoron"...
As Bob likes to say: "Just another happy ending in the Tri-State"
