Morgue workers, what is the weirdest cause of death you've diagnosed?

[@SewardWriter]

How shitty do doctors have to be to ignore a severe lung infection for a YEAR?

[@rayhatesu]

As someone who has had family deal with similar, it's quite possible this never made it to a doctor. Nurses have the discretion to deny someone the ability to see the doctor (through willfully not scheduling appointments or removing scheduled ones), all because the nurse may have a problem with the patient in question. Further, this could get turned away at emergency clinics since it's not something they may be able to test, and hospitals would/could require a recommendation for tests from a regular physician first. In the case that happened with my family, the family member had pissed off one of the nurses at the family practice he went to, so she kept denying him an opportunity to see his doctor outside of his regular checkup, even though he was coming in extremely worried about a lump in his neck (that was outwardly visible and not his Adam's Apple). He finally goes in for his regular checkup and his doctor demands he gets tests immediately while asking why he hadn't come in sooner, to which the doctor was told about the nurse's actions. Turned out that family member had Cancer, but lucked out in the fact that the exact variant he had was highly survivable so he's still around today. (For scalar of how rare his cancer variety was, his case is close to the 50th or so recorded, and he was diagnosed in 2020). Family member is still alive, kicking, and even working still, but I personally don't know what has happened to the nurse who screwed him over and, as a result of her dislike of him, let his cancer get bad enough that he lost 85% of his voice, but I hope she's no longer practicing, because it's people like her that can cause stories like this to happen.

We have to do this in veterinary medicine every now & then, Im a former vet tech. I still remember my first time, it was a stuck colt, at a racing stable. I remember what the mom and baby looked like, all the markings, colors, the owner, smells (baby had started to slightly rot already), sound of the snare, the works, in detail. I held myself together at the scene, but I had to take some deep breaths later as we drove off. Not my favorite memory, but we saved the mare. Yeah, I know it sounds very strange and grouse, even on animals.

[@natalietwattily9770]

There's several cases where it's even worse (in my opinion) than that - the baby's head gets pulled off by physicians using too much force during a forceps or ventose assisted labour. Two recently reported cases of this happening can be seen if you Google Dr Vishnavy Laxman and Dr Tracey St Julian. It's pretty grim reading for even the most hardened of individuals, but really shows that this is something that happens, and whilst it's relatively rare, it seems that every time it happens, the medics behind it have usually been dismissive of the mother's concerns and already treated them quite poorly by the time that they kill their child through a lack of care in their actions.

[@KittyMax97]

Unfortunately not that strange. Deaths from these situations are happening even more now that Texas doesn’t believe a non-viable (dead) fetus should be aborted. It leaves dying tissue to spread and kill the mother. Carrying a non-viable fetus to term is lethal.

[@sophieandwayne]

I have heard of a similar story sadly, during WWII in London underground during the bombings a woman was in labour and pretty much the same situation happened but the mother died as well when they cut her to do a c/section and without anaesthetic or pain medication it would have been unlikely she survived but they had to try.

[@intothedepthscoco]

There is a similar situation in the news recently, the issue with the baby's birth position is called 'shoulder dystocia.' The OB and nurses are being called out for murdering the baby during their attempt to get it unstuck manually, but should have tried a c-section. Unfortunately, this story shows that even that procedure may not end well. Sad.

Trains are one of the messiest way to do self-removal, in a past life I worked as part of a clean-up crew for the police and in case of trains, we would be called in to help search for remains. Worst one I saw was a dude that jumped under a freight train at the last moment without the driver seeing him. Dude got dragged and shredded until the next station where they flagged him down. We spent all day going over a 3 km long track, from point of impact to full stop. Largest part found was a femur with half the remains on them, largest part I was able to find was a mangled hand. Parents of the deceased apparently wanted an open casket, but the mortician was able to quickly dissuade them.

I’ve heard of how difficult it can be for the unusual birth positions. My brother, a doctor, had to deliver a baby in this “shoulder position” back when he was still an intern at a hospital in a rural area of my country. It was supposed to be an easy routine delivery so they didn’t refer the mother to larger hospital in the city before she was wheeled into the delivery room. The hospital my brother was in didn’t have any specialist or even a pediatrician he could call for. So he decided to just inform the baby’s father in the waiting room that he was gonna have to “break the baby’s collar bone” since the baby was starting to suffocate already. Once the baby was out, he referred both the mother and the child to the hospital in the city. (The mother also had a lot of bleeding.) He went home super scared of being sued for injuring the baby. The next day, his prof called to give praises for his quick thinking since the mortality rates for most difficult deliveries like this in the area that far and rural are usually really high. My brother, being just fresh out of med school without any staff or ped specialist, was able to pull this off and saved both the mom and the baby was almost like a miracle.

I've got one: My dad used to be a funeral director. This one was an older woman living in a trailer with like 6 cats. She was incredibly obese, and was delivered groceries by someone regularly. At one point, it was realized that nobody had heard from her in a few days. When they checked on her, she had died of a heart attack or something, and her cats had started to eat her body. They also had a lot of trouble getting her on a gurney and out the door. Fire department had to rip a hole in the wall for that one. He said that one was kind of a nightmare.

[@blackmagician7645]

3:20 Story 5. I still wish the medical field would allow the natural positioning of mothers for child birthing. Which is upright in squatting position. This is what is excepted as correct procedure when releasing excrements. Utilizing gravity drop, without forcing unnatural strain on muscle walls. Humans are specifically designed to be top heavy for birthing reasons. As gravity physics operates to point the more weighted portions to touch down before the lighter mass. Which would perfectly have the child's head in proper alignment with the exit hatch as the amniotic fluid drains out. But only if the exit opening is below the child drop. Not to a horizontal sideway. And forcing the contraction muscles to have to reject the child rather than act as a guide control to gravity pulling the fetus out. Is just setting the challenge and risk of delivery on extra difficult mode. The doctors shouldn't have to stick their own appendages inside the mother. All they have to do is just squat Infront of the squatting women giving birth. And place their hands directly under the mothers and catch the head of the babies. Drawing their bodies closer to them as they come out.

[@Thekoodie]

Any sort of source regarding this information? Not a biology student and never heard this before.

[@kmadon6828]

We DO allow a variety of birth positions, and will physically put mothers in them to reposition the fetus. That doesn't help at all when there's pelvic insufficiency (the opening is too small for the fetus) Birth is very, very dangerous for both mothers and babies, and death happens. Maybe don't just assume things to try to sound knowledgeable?

To which the kid replied " are you stupid, thrill obviously." It's safe to say his psych report came back pretty clean and he was advised that it's perfectly legal to buy and own sex toys. The good news is that his family had figured he's gay long before but he wasn't officially out yet. It was an unpleasant and uncomfortable situation but it all turned out better than we could have hoped for in the end.

His COD was officially "Death by Misadventure" , which caused a lot of controversy, especially since alcohol poisoning is now a known issue, and it may be possible Bon suffocated due to throwing up while unconscious. My point is, while it is a thing, a fair number of deaths "by misadventure" have better explanations.

One night my grandma had to call an ambulance that had to drive from like an hour or so away because my grandpa could barely breathe. Turns out, his lungs were slowly filling with mucus and liquid that they had to get out. About two weeks later he was sent home, and got to stay home for roughly two-three weeks. Then he had to be sent back to the hospital because it got worse again. They tried once again to send him home before he was healthy, but my grandma had to tell them that no, they're not gonna get to send him home too early again, that mistake already happened twice.

Driver might have to have years of therapy and survivors guilt after seeing you lying mangled and they might never know that you planned to die purposely.

I’ll tell you right now, if my baby died during the birth, then I had to get cut open to remove the corpse, and then deliver the severed head of my baby, I’d be saying a lot worse than “God damn.” Fuck any god that lets that happen.

My friend dodged a bullet by not accepting a job as a secretary for a mortuary because that was being publicized in the paper at the time and she needed a job. When she went to go for the interview and the current at the time secretary, if that makes sense, asked her, my friend, if she was there for the job and, while there, there was someone getting cremated and the lights flickered and there was a whoosh from the furnace. Well, long story short, the job entailed actually accepting and preparing the bodies that came in to the said mortuary on weekends, particularly Fridays, and get them ready to go to the furnace to be burnt. Needless to say, said friend had talked to our pastor at the time and said pastor said let the dead bury the dead and said friend didn't take the job in the end. Still was traumatizing for her to say the least. Her brother worked at a mental institution for a day and had to quit because of the fact he couldn't deal with the patients when he was trying to be a janitor and my friend witnessed a car crash and motorcycle accident, separate instances, and there was a beheaded body and a casket, empty, spilling out the back of a hearse and crap like that. I'd be surprised that the cops weren't out on the lawn puking their guts out in the grass over the foul stench of the three day body at the end of the thread there

I got one: Not something I saw but my dad did. There were a couple of teens/early adults driving a car in winter (towing a sled behind them) As they made a turn the sled slid into the other lane. Right into an oncoming semi. He and his dad helped load the smashed body into the back of the teens truck.

The swallowing of a bee is an easier thing than people think. I was in 3 grade and got stung by a bee on my tongue. Thankfully I didn't swallow it, but because the natural reaction when an insect Flys in your mouth is to spit it out all that movement and muscles contrations scare the bee who stings as a defense. Best part about that day though was I got to miss like 2 hours of class and had unlimited Popsicles for about 40 mins because ice packs weren't small enough to fit in. My mouth

[@basian7365]

the one where a person had shot someone, got send to jail, got released after serving time and 30 years later got arrested again for murder probably didnt get any jailtime... cause if they did, then i highly doubt that the story actually happened. because legally you can NOT be punished for the same thing twice... and not only that, but there is a state of limitations, even when it comes to murder. 30 years have passed since the shooting, which is highly likely too long ago to do anything about it.

[@tannerbenson7864]

It wouldn't be the same thing. First it would be assault with a deadly weapon, but then it would be murder. The statute of limitations part is right though, but I'm not sure how long it is for murder.

[@basian7365]

@@tannerbenson7864 i mean, when you are sentenced for attempted murder and after 30 years the victim does end up dying from an object that was left in the body, then the "killer" cant be sentenced for it again as they were already sentenced for a crime that just evolved further into a more severe crime of the same type after a very long time. not only that, but i think theres also a reason to blame the hospital staff that did the surgery and scans... i mean, they left parts in the body which is quite a negligent mistake.

Around the time of COVID (more 2020 than 2021), my hotel had the Lancaster County coroner stay multiple times (he didn’t want to have to drive straight from home over an hour away from work, and with deaths being high due to COVID on top of the average amount of deaths he dealt with in a day, he at times was at the hotel for 1-2 weeks straight). His strangest was one of the last times he stayed at the hotel. At around 6 pm he had to leave immediately due to a call about a woman unaliving herself. Most of Lancaster County is a mix of wooded and farm area, meaning once you’re outside of any city limits, it’s harder to get help immediately to you. Apparently this woman decided to unalive herself by first trying to OD on pills, but when that didn’t work, she tied a noose around her neck, tied it to a metal pole outside her apartment, and then tried driving. The vehicle ended up in a farmer’s wheat field without a head while the head sat in the front of the apartment complex (I’m sure those residents were trying to get therapy). Another sad but semi-normal occurrence is any farmers or Amish who try to have their kids fixing farm equipment and end up dead due to the equipment killing them in some way. The youngest I’ve heard was just 2.

4:00 Same thing happened in my city some time ago. Super tragic story, doctors were sued, was kind of a scandal for a time, or at least I heard it was. Mind you, this is second-hand, I heard about it from one of my teachers, an OB/GYN, when talking about medical malpractice just about 8 months ago, so some details are a bit blurred. And nothing came of it, it was just that, a tragedy, no one was to blame, everyone did everything right and it still wasn't enough. Was a one-two punch: a tragic story and the terrible realization that you can do everything right and still fail. Can still remember how the mood of the normally bright and cheerful class got completely grim, could hear a feather hit the ground. Almost as if it just happened right there. And no, it isn't the same case, this happened in a city in the Brazilian shouth. And yes, after you hear enough cases, the trauma thing just stops happening, they become interesting cases rather than traumatic ones. It becomes a problem when talking to somene not in the medical field.

In my city, most of the buildings are multi-story apartment buildings. In an interview, one specialist recalled the consequences of suicides of lonely people. One day, a neighbor from downstairs called them because a suicide man had literally leaked into her apartment. Then this specialist sadly added that the worst thing is suicide in a bathtub full of water: old corpses are very difficult to scoop out...

1:30 Doesn't the man's assault charge, which he served, suddenly turning into a murder charge 30 years later violate double jeopardy laws? That means he was not only tried for the same crime twice, but was CONVICTED for the same crime twice. I get that it's his fault and all, but that's just not how our legal system is supposed to work.

[@blackqweenmars]

1:10 I feel like this is illegal. Ain’t there in an amendment that says that someone can’t be tried twice? I guess it’s for different crimes, but he already paid the time for the shot so he shouldn’t be getting charged again for the shot.

[@justaregulardude895]

Youth is no excuse for reckless driving. That is a very irresponsible thing to suggest. Only 500 people per year die by firearm misuse in the US. But vehicular misuse? 40,000 per year. My friends and parents have never let me leave to drive without telling me "stay safe," and I suggest you do the same. Vehicles are thousands of pounds of metal traveling at high rates of speed with you inside. Give that power and danger the respect it deserves. Coming home is better than "having fun." Also, it's really bizarre to see so many of these medical people complain about how messy train unalivings are and suggest you not take that route. First, show some respect to the dead. I don't care how desensitized you are. Show some respect. Besides, why would any person going to unalive themselves care what people who don't know them think about it? If I were in that mindset and heard such cold and uncaring responses...I'd choose the train route just to spite them for their lack of emotion. Give them a hard time from beyond the grave.

[@GiordanDiodato]

I'm almost certain that most of those 40,000 deaths of car misuse is due to drunk driving. also being desensitized comes with the job. "show some respect for the dead" maybe the dead should have respected themselves first?

[@rangerlove7]

Regardless of how callus they sounded about the job they had to do to clean up the remains, they had a point about the train conductors, who would be innocent in all this. Not to mention potentially passengers who might witness it. But people who unalive themselves are on,y thinking of themselves not the people who go on living afterwards 🙃
