Ed. Great headline, eh?
From JEMS:
The San Mateo County coroner is being sued for a second time over the handling of body parts, this time defending its right to let an ambulance company dissect a man’s brain.
American Medical Response paramedics treated him at the scene but were unable to save his life. The Wolkoffs sued the ambulance company, alleging that a procedure paramedics conducted with a needle to help their son breathe caused brain damage and contributed to his death, said the family’s attorney, Jayme Burns.
The subpoena from American Medical Response requested “pathology slides” and “tissue blocks” from Steven Wolkoff’s brain.
What happened next is the crux of the dispute.
