CT medical examiner’s office told it will lose full national accreditation if

Story in the New Haven Register written by Estaban L. Hernande also on TV about Connecticut's Medical Examiner office.

The topic of the story is important. It was written by Estaban L. Hernande on-line I heard this on TV. It brought my attention to this problem in the state which I had not heard about before but it bothered me. There are only a few forensic doctors in Connecticut and they have hundreds of bodies each to examine. Malloy is using the excuse that there are more people dying of drug overdose and they don't have enough money put in the budget because of this problem. That is stupid, there are people dying and CT does not have enough forensic people to examine the bodies no matter what people that are dead died from.

How can the results be relied on. The news said there were 7 people that do this job
and they had over 300 bodies each to examine for death results.

This is a job that many test have to be done, how do they have time to get the right results and now after this story will the results be the right ones. I think those in jail might challenge the results that might have put them behind
bars.

Gov Malloy can't blame the rise in death from drugs using up the time or money of the Medical Examiner's office. Hire more people Governor!
