Them's Fightin' Words
In the seemingly rare Parley posting, Mitch lets Tracy Warner really have it about his criticism of the Medical Examiner system. Here's an exerpt from that post. Could this be the beginning of a blog dual between the two?
Mr. Warner goes on in his blog post to say that Indiana ought to have a medical examiner system.
Well, Mr. Warner, Indiana already has provisions for a Medical Examiner system in the Indiana Code.How do I know? Because I drafted the legislation, introduced as a bill in the Indiana House of Representatives and got it passed in 1981. I did so in conjunction with Dr. John Pless, the longtime forensic pathologist at I.U. Medical Center and with the support of then Allen County Coroner Bud Ahlbrand, M.D. and a large number of rural county coroners. That legislation led to a very robust debate which resulted in today's Indiana Coroner's Training Board and the current situation where all coroner's autopsies in Indiana ARE conducted by forensic pathologists.

In Tracys defence, Indiana ought to have a BETTER medical examiner system. The legislation Mitch drafted was weak, and obviously, ineffective. The entire coroner system is in need of an overhaul. Maybe when little Phil gets to the statehouse he can write something with some teeth.
It's really hard to take seriously people who cannot spell simple words like "defense."
Or "duel."
