He would like to add that the cases in Adelaide are true unknowns, not like those phonies at the Mass. General Hospital published in NEJM. |

What ever happened to a post-mortem examination? Did it go the way of the horse and buggy, Palm Pilot, or Atari, swallowed by newer, better, stronger, faster ways of doing things?

I'll walk you through the history of autopsy and try to sell you on the idea that routine autopsy is the way of the Jedi and the road to Mastery.
