What do you do? Coroner or morgue? Mortitions get PAID!!! I hope you got overtime...
We don't have a coroner in our county any more. We have a medical examiner. And we don't have a morgue... we have an OME (Office of the Medical Examiner). No, it's not semantics... there really is a difference...
And, no, I'm not a mortician... so no overtime or big bucks. I'm simply the Chief Medical Examiner Assistant.
And I got entangled in this by opening my big mouth and offering myself to the CME to run her office for her. Next thing I knew, I was on the front page of the newspaper billed as an investigator!
... Seriously though.... I do love my job. I learn so much every single day. And I get to help people... more than I ever did in the pharmacy, believe it or not. And I get to be the last voice for most of these people who come through our facility. For far too many of them, unfortunately, their final story is not a happy one... but it matters nonetheless... and
NEEDS to be told.
