Baby, some say it never went out of style

Folks, there are some HUGE things in the works. As those ideas percolate and develop from a pouch of primordial slime, here's a tidbit...

I am currently in the pre-planning stages of starting a new series here called Interview with an Unlicensed Physician. Totally true.

This is still in its infancy, but I'm feeling very confident about it. A combination of information (though not to be taken as medical advice) and a study-guide for armchair physicians everywhere, this series should prove a welcome addition to late-2007.

Here are excerpts from a recent email conversation.

Justin: If paramedics are called and the body is DOA, do they drop the body off at a hospital or at the city morgue? Would they ever bring someone who died of a heart attack to a hospital? Organ donor? Or basically if the paramedics show up and the person is dead they get shuffled off somewhere else?

Unlicensed Physician: The paramedics and police bring the body to the ER if there are any signs that the person is alive or was alive recently. ... It they have no vital signs (no heart beat, not breathing) and have signs that they have been dead for some time (rigor mortis), or have an injury incompatible with life (decapitation) they can be taken straight to the morgue.

Genius.

Especially when he describes decapitation as incompatible with life.
