As you well know, you're a sound guy.

Uh, you got stainless steel and instruments banging off of everything.

You can't hear the tape.

Exactly.

So I was literally his scribe.

I would sit there and I would write and boy, did I get an education really quick.

Um, you know, and, uh,

I started closing for them.

They taught me how to close bodies after they had done the autopsies.

And I'm absorbing everything that's going on in there, everything from examination of remains to collection of evidence, the whole nine yards.

And then they had me opening bodies pretty soon because the pathologist really doesn't open the body.

It's the technician that does it, and we do the evisceration, which is the removal of organs.

Right.

And they trained me in all those aspects.

And in the meantime, I became kind of an apprentice investigator for the coroner.

People don't realize coroners have investigators, but they do.

It's called medical legal death investigation.

And I can get into that and kind of what that all entails.

But I applied to be a medical legal death investigator with a coroner and got shot down twice.

both the people they hired didn't last more than six months.
