Together, they search for the lessons in each case that will benefit future patients
- Why do autopsies?
o Estalish the tuth
o 25% of clinical diagnoses may be completely or partially wrong
o Adds to knowledge of disease
o Important aspect of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching
- Contributions from autopsies:
o Relationship of blindness to retrolental fibroplasia
o Syndrome of metastasizing carcinoid
o Collagen diseases
o Radiation injury
o Post-radiation malignancy
o Hyperparathyroidism
o Potassium deficiency and lethal effects on myocardium and kidney
o New designs of seat belts
Coroners – eas Co’s Ma
