It's an unlikely subject, perhaps for a popular television show. But that's what Quincy, the television show was all about, the one that stars Jack Klugman. But Hollywood, as always, sort of exaggerates a little bit. And tonight, we're going to find out what a medical examiner's job is really like. We'll meet Dr. Anne Dickson, who is the counterpart of Quincy here in Baltimore. She's the medical examiner here. And I should warn you that many of you might not like to watch this story and you may not want your children to watch it just because of the nature of the story. But we felt like it was an important subject and worth covering in this building. At 111, Penn Street is the office of the medical examiner for the state of Maryland. The old image of the morgue and the coroner's wagon is gone. The modern day medical examiner is, in fact, a medical detective. It is the examiner's job to investigate sudden or unnatural deaths to determine the cause. The science of forensic pathology is used to find and interpret the clues that lead to a conclusive cause of death. Dr. Anne Dixon is one of the state's six medical examiners. One might think that she's rather unique in the field because she's a woman. But many women have entered the field of forensic pathology over the last ten years. Here in Maryland, half of the medical examiners are women. We're mainly looking for cause of death. And but our main purpose in life, in a sense, is to determine the nature and extent of injuries when they have contributed to an individual's death so that a lot of our efforts, in a sense, are not just diagnosing that so-and-so had a heart attack, but to also exclude the presence of trauma.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114028/file/216766#t=52.23,164.37"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114028/file/216766/transcript/61560/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"So we check for evidence of injury internally, externally, and we obviously try to determine cause of death. I think on the whole, I'm not too bothered by most everything that comes in here. The most disturbing, as far as I'm concerned, are the cases in which there is dismemberment, either accidental or homicidal. And those, I think, are the most difficult to handle. The laboratory plays a big part in investigations into the cause of death. After the autopsy is completed, the toxicologists take over in the labs. Their job is to find out if there are drugs, alcohol or other foreign substances in the body. There are over 20,000 slides a year produced by the histology lab that are used to confirm the diagnosis made during the autopsy. They're also used as teaching AIDS. Teaching is an important part of the medical examiner's work. Law enforcement officers, physicians and other pathologists are taught how to investigate a sudden or unnatural death. There are various teaching aids used in this instruction. These are a series of bits and pieces from various cases that the officers investigated through the years. For example, these shoes were worn by a man who was struck by lightning, and she read the destruction that rendered when the lightning passed through his body and out of his feet. The victim, Dr. Russell Fisher, has been Maryland's chief medical examiner for the last 20 years. He established the Maryland facility as one of the first training centers for forensic pathologists. In an effort to commit suicide by overdosing himself with Freon. It is a fairly dangerous gas to have loose. He succeeded. This is a development for a barefoot, but we're brought in on the assumption of the foot of a female and therefore represented for the hand of a female and therefore represented a murder case.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114028/file/216766#t=165.78,296.68"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114028/file/216766/transcript/61560/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"In fact, this is another barefoot. Well, they look very similar. The expert recognized this is by comparison and anatomical specimen for. The collection over at university showing that the real shape and size of the woman he. Photographs are an important tool for the medical examiner. They're used as evidence in court and also to reconstruct the scene of a death. This individual was shot and killed by a headshot in. The story was offered that her husband had a small gun, which he dropped and it went off and shot her. When we came to examine the wound, we saw the bullet wound itself, which is, of course, lacerated. But in addition, that small round circle of abrasions and lacerations and then the tiny little ring of abrasion below that. But when one compares the muzzle of the gun with the two impressions and I've just pointed out, one realizes that this gun was in such tight contact with the face at the time of the shot that the muzzle imprint was left on the skin. This was sufficiently convincing to the jury that they didn't embrace the accident, which is what offered and found her husband guilty of shooting her. I spent some time dealing with life patients and I didn't really find it any more rewarding to treat live patients than I find it dealing with dead people. There are rewards. The fact that we are able to make identification and supply information vital to helping the remaining members of a family. The fact that we're able to determine how a death occurred and many times ensure the rights of the family and the courts in terms of double indemnity and accidental benefits or worker's compensation benefits. All of this gives one a sense of satisfaction that he's accomplishing something that we're not merely serving the dead, but the living survivors.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114028/file/216766#t=297.52,453.09"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114028/file/216766/transcript/61560/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And that is our real mission.
