"Open access platforms such as Twitter permit forensic pathologists 2 present their stories & issues unfiltered with the bonus of LIVE feedback."
"Given issues with recruitment, research.. we as a..group have to be creative & unorthodox."

ALT Τhe abundance of free and affordable social media broadcast platforms such as Twitter, Facebook Live, Instagram Live and TikTok (which individually count millions of subscribers) and the improved access to the Internet worldwide provide too good an opportunity to ignore. If we as forensic professionals do not now begin to take advantage of social media, when will we ever be ready to engage with the world beyond our peers and colleagues?

Love my new book!
Of course chapter 14 is the best bit 😉
Recommended for all histopathology/forensic pathology/neuropathology trainees, as well as practising consultants. A wealth of autopsy knowledge from fabulous authors.

I thought "Coroner Services" was under the Department of Public Safety. And yet not a word mentioned about it in the mandate letter! Wondering if cabinet is even AWARE that it exists...

Dr. Hazel Othello, psychiatrist Trinidad and Tobago.
"Died by suicide" is less stigmatizing than "committed suicide". Mind your language.

2h. BC Coroners service does not list the numbers of postmortems on its website.
However assuming a complement of 8 based off of licensing data, 2000 exams would be the maximum per annum.

2i. However the service appears to be strained due to the sharp increase in Opioid deaths.
Dr. Jatinder Baidwan (family physician) is the new chief coroner who was previously chief medical officer for the coroners service.
The prior chief was a lawyer.
