This is what happens when you start to dismantle the education system. We can thank Reagan and the Bushes for that.

Someone needs to put him in a rubber room now.

Nope. Denor was correct. Navy speak. I was a navy corpsman, lab technologist, & denor.

I'm doing something else in the medical field. I was a navy corpsman and I specialized in lab tech & denor. Believe it or not, civilian employers don't recognize military medical training. I couldn't even get a job as a phlebotomist after I got out and attended college. Plus, people make more per hour starting at Costco than denors make with experience. I had a few where the NIS were involved. Those were REALLY long days. Those guys didn't have a sense of humor at all. But then again, most people working in the medical field have a morbid sense of humor.

Navy medical term for autopsy assistant.

Autopsy Assistant. It was only the pathologist and myself. While he took the samples of the organs he wanted, I had to extract the brain. Once he was finished, I had to collect everything up, bag it, place it into the abdominal cavity, fill in the chest & head cavities with gauze, sew everything back up, wash all the blood off the body, and then put it back into a body bag. We had nicknames for different types of deaths.
