"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?

Ebola is spreading rapidly beyond the main epicenter of Democratic Republic of Congo’s outbreak, overwhelming treatment capacity in some areas and putting mounting pressure on efforts to trace and contain infections bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
From Dr Youd, The MOAK (Mother of All Knowledge)!
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...

"Died by suicide" is less stigmatizing than "committed suicide". Mind your language.

Death Investigation in Canada
2. British Columbia
Operates a coroners system.
Coroners systems originate from the United Kingdom. A coroner is not necessarily a forensic pathologist and theoretically could be anyone from a fresh high school grad to a physician or lawyer.
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.
