Hi! I wasn’t sure where to put this. I’m wondering if there are any forensic pathologists here because I have some questions.
Why not just ask your questions, rather than determining who may answer them?
Perchance, do your questions have any connection to your username?
We did have a pathologist on the boards a few years ago. I can’t recall if she was a forensic pathologist or not, but I don’t believe she is active anymore.
Jackmannii is a pathologist. Not sure if he’s forensic or not.
She was, and she isn’t.
We still have at least one pathologist on the Dope (cough) but since his last forensic autopsy was circa 1993, he may not be the best source of info on exotic untraceable poisons.
:smack:
Sounds like you have a nasty cough there, need me to call you in a Z-pak?
Interesting non-sequitur. Spammer or escapee from subreddit simulator? :dubious: Inquiring minds want to know!
I had the misfortune to sorta-participate in the fire/EMS response to one such accident.
It took zero expertise to see why the guy died. Measured from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet was about 20 yards. He died of excess tallness.
Need answer fast?
Was this the Procrustes residence?
Sorry, that was a stretch.
I have worked with them still have some contacts.
I’ve seen many on TV.
I rotated through for a month in Med school.
TV looks better. They are way smarter and better looking.
I am a forensic pathologist. Fire away.
That was terrible, and I loved it.
Well played.
Are you a doctor?
So, quite the opposite of that Frenchman nobleman who, facing a Revolutionary trial led by a prosecutor who’d mistakenly added a couple syllables to his name, testily replied “Citizen, I’m here to be shortened, not lengthened”.
As the apocryphal anecdote goes, that witticism set him free. In French legalese the verb for “setting an accused free” is “élargir”, literally “to widen”. Reportedly, the judge couldn’t resist dropping his own bon mot.
Holding an MD or DO degree is one of the requirements for becoming a pathologist, so I suspect that will be a “yes”.
But not necessarily required to be a coroner.
