I used to be a Medic and Firefighter-- in short I was an adrenaline junkie. And now I'm old and retired. And my body is bent and currently a bit broken. I seek to learn how to be dull.
Despite the enjoyment of watching the hummingbirds at my feeders and the light gardening I do. I still think I could become even more satisfied with my dullness.
Guide me to complete dullness!
I've never asked why they do that. As a retired medic, there must be a medical reason. But, at least in the rural areas I worked, many dead people simply never get to the hospital. As a medic, I've called my share of dead people. When that happened, I would call dispatch and tell them there would be no transport to the hospital. And then law enforcement and the local funeral home would be dispatched to the scene. The cops had paperwork to do for county records and the funeral home would transport the dead. So unless the cops thought there was something that needed to be investigated, there would not be any autopsies done. The death certificate was done by the dead persons doctor as reviewed from medical records. Even I could give a good cause of death. In a small community, where you work on family and friends, I probably had already scraped you up a couple of times and was familiar with your illness.
And if a hospital sell them more than once, think of the pure profit!
