Actually, how many towns do it is that they have elected coroners and they contract the job of actually cutting up and investigating the body to a private company. All the coroner does is do PR and sign off on the full report of the investigation. Yep, because there is of course money to be made in cutting up bodies. This is America where everything is contracted out to a private company because the government can't run the damn things themselves. Except the post office, that is still under them except they do a horrible job of managing it. The post office isn't horrible, just the people managing it.

I know in Memphis for a large portion of the 90's, one of the guys working the morgue and helping with autopsies was a dude who worked a side job at a Pizza Hut. He was tired a lot and would confused the cutting on the cadaver's chest for a cutting up the slices of a pizza. So instead of a "Y" pattern, you'd end up with an 8 pc pizza cut. That morgue would regularly have to pay for shirts and jackets at funerals because of how he messed up the bodies.

Actual honest question: has there ever been an instance of "contracted out to private services" going RIGHT? And we can argue the definition of "right", to my knowledge there's always some negative consequence to handing over a formerly public service over to a for-profit organization. Hell, there's consequences for any model of service-providing organization, and those can change depending on surrounding circumstances. Let's say "going right" is where the benefits can be reasonably argued to outweigh those consequences. I just want to know if there's any instance where privatization has resulted in things *not* devolving into a hilarious mess.

My mom passed away suddenly in December 2017. The medical examiner's office chose to not do a full autopsy, and only run a toxicology screening, as it was expected that she had passed due to interactions of medications she was on. Despite not even doing an autopsy, it took SIX months before the toxicology reports were returned to us. We nearly lost access to her life insurance, as the life insurance company told us they were giving us one month to get them a death certificate, otherwise we forfeit the policy. Thankfully my dad realized this was illegal, and after threatening to get the insurance commissioner involved, they changed their tune, and let us submit the certificate once we finally had it. I shudder to think how many people, deep in their grief and pain, just roll over and give up when companies try to take advantage of them like that, because they don't think they have any options. The whole death industry is positioned perfectly to take advantage of people at their weakest moments, and from funeral parlors to life insurance, it happens way too frequently, and is exacerbated by the issues with the coroner/medical examiner industry.

Another sad thing about coroner and medical examiner offices is how quick they are to completely write off people with a documented history of drug abuse. If they are informed that you have a documented history of drug abuse, any thoughts of an investigation into the cause of death are over, and that is what they're going to write on your death certificate. Cause of death: Complications due to history of drug abuse. Even if that has nothing to do with the actual cause of death.

No one identified it as a new disease until 221 people got sick at a hotel in Philadelphia in 1976. Later they figured out there were cases as far back as 1947.

Most pathologists do not like doing county autopsies. They learn quickly on medical school rotation if they choose pathology, an elective part of rotation in many states, that the county doesn't care unless it hits the news. Thus, they are unimportant and normally underfunded. If they choose to pursue it, there is a lot of work ahead of them. The potential pathologist needs to choose anatomic pathology as their career, and do a fellowship which is three years. Most would do four years of fellowship, as adding on an additional year of a clinical pathology fellowship means being able to do 'general pathology' which is what hospitals and medical research companies look for. They would then need to do an additional year of forensic pathology. So they would be ready to be a forensic pathologist at about thirty, and make less money than a general pathologist that only did a four year fellowship. Add in the fact that a lot of basic pathology is being farmed out of state or country, with only enough pathologists being kept on staff for odd cases and signing off on the farmed out work. Pathology is just not a popular field anymore, the job security is not there and the money is less than some of the other fields. All this is from listening to my father, the pathologist, over the years.

There still are some problems with people voluntarily doing these jobs but atleast they never run out.

We waited 2 years for the cause of death of my mother AND father. They died of cardiac failure. Then they tried to bill the family for storing the cadavers. Then it took 2 more years to ger their ashes. When we found out they were be used at teaching cadavers. All 7 of my siblings showed up at the processing center with an extremely angry attitude (the men in my families are hardcore bikers). We got the remains in 3 days. The questions are, did we get their remains or ashes from a barbecue fest?

Pathologists are medical doctors who are experts in disease and injury. Forensic pathologists have further training and are experts in disease and injury that result in sudden death. Pathologists and forensic pathologists are the medical doctors who perform autopsies, when required. Forensic pathologists may also be appointed as coroners to investigate cases of suspicious death. America, get your shit together. In no way is it acceptable to elect someone with no skills to do these jobs.

Oh my goodness. In Pakistan, we have Drs who perform an autopsy. Only Govt. Drs are entitled to perform it. I am amazed at the condition of the US.

@RESPECT MY AUTHORITY Greatest country in what? Look at your people and at your society, look at your president, look at your healthcare. You are a country built on the bones and guts of the natives, and even if you get the best economy in the earth and the best services, you are far from being even close to great.

@RESPECT MY AUTHORITY the only point where americans are the real number 1 is the amount of adults believing in angels. you are far away from being the greatest country on earth and if you keep up the way youre going now, the USA will be gone in the next few years.

Tracy Morgan: "I ain't dying by Walmart." A call back to when he was nearly killed by a Walmart employed semi truck driver.

When he said "I ain't dying by..." fully expected a reference to that accident, but all I remembered was that they were in a limo.. I totally forgot that it was a Walmart truck that hit them.

I cannot believe what I’m watching. You don’t need to be a doctor to be a coroner? I’m floored. I don’t even know why America shocks me anymore.

Two fun facts: In the last KY coroner's election I voted in, there was a Republican nominee and a Democratic nominee. I thought the Dem looked marginally less unqualified (yes, that is the most appropriate phrasing under the circumstances), but it's KY, so the Rep won. A friend randomly died in her sleep one night. She had a lot of chronic health issues but had been more or less fine for a couple years. The person just wrote down "heart attack" without any testing. No idea how she died.

Nah. We don't do that here. We might have corruption, nepotism, lack of resources, but our laws protect citizens, our medical examiners are properly qualified, we have ombudsmens out the wazoo, and we are working towards a better country. You guys just want to kill the poor
