"The book Homicide: A Year on the killing streets, is one of the books that the shows The Wire and Homicide: Life on the Streets are based on. It is written by David Simon who spent a year imbedded in the Homicide Unit of the Baltimore PD. So they went to a murder scene in the middle of summer, and the body was not discovered for a long time. So the body was bloated and swollen. As the ME was loading it on a gurney to move it, the Detective says, "he is going to burst on you", The ME says, naw I got this. Sure enough the body burst, so of course pretty much everyone in the room starts throwing up. The detective steps out side and sees one of the cops that had just been in the room eating a massive Roast Beef sandwich. The detective was staring in awe and the cop says, it is extra rare I don't want my bread to get soggy. The detective said, lord cops are sick fucks. "

"This isn't my story, it's my wife's and my buddy's. I tried to get her to go on her account, but she's apparently got a busy shift. Anyway, she was doing an autopsy on a twenty-two-year-old kid who'd been murdered. Aside from my buddy's gruesome account of my wife sticking her fingers into the kid's throat hole up to her third knuckle, she had to write down all these notes about it. But the weirdest thing was what my buddy said afterward. He mentioned something about a "bleeding corpse." When I asked what he meant, my wife said the paws-up kid's blood hadn't coagulated. She had a really long name for it - starts with a T. I can't remember. She finds out later he'd ingested (whether accidentally or on purpose) rat poison over a period of months. It basically made it so his blood didn't clot. "

Medical Examiners are few and far between these days, or so I've heard. I would love a genuine Q & A with one. Not even for any weird stories, but just to pick their brain. (Pun intended?)

If I'm not mistaken, any medical professional who deals with a patient (dead or alive) isn't allowed to disclose any information about a person's body whatsoever. Hell, even as an anatomy student, we sign a specific agreement that says we won't talk about donors outside of the lab/room (with the exception of a private forum we used to describe our progress, abnormalities, etc).

Not in the trade but long ago, my friend's mom managed a large hospital that included the county morgue. The cases she said were worst were drowning victims, like when the body isn't recovered for a while. People swell up a lot, and the smell is unique. Iirc JFK Jr fell into this category. Med student friend said the body you don't want to learn on is that of someone who was morbidly obese. Basically you're learning anatomy, but there's a foot of fat between you and the pancreas. I ended up working at the hospital mentioned above ppl in the morgue line of work become so inured to it. I remember walking down by the morgue one time. In a lab room there was a pathologist sitting at one end of a table eating his lunch...at the other end, part of a leg he was dissecting.

Not an autopsy but I once removed a leg ulcer dressing from a patient and the wound was full of wriggling maggots. Patient was blissfully unaware.

I shadowed forensic autopsies in college. The pathologists all were very good at separating themselves mentally from the situation and were unfazed by pretty much everything, but they all agreed suicide cases involving children were the worst. One young boy hanged himself and wrote his suicide note on his forearm. At autopsy, all distinguishing markings (i.e. tattoos, scars, etc.) need to be noted in the report, so listening to the pathologist read this little boy's suicide note was very sobering and beyond heartbreaking for everyone involved.
