Could he have had an intracranial bleed or pulmonary embolus? Sure... <br /><br />If curious you can probably get hospital records and see if he had blood drawn.<br />best, etothepiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-84815086819651910622009-06-30T20:48:42.529-05:002009-06-30T20:48:42.529-05:00Dr Etotheipi,

Back in October 2007 my father in law died. He was a 76 year old rather overweight white male. He died at home, in bed, while sleeping next to my mother in law. An autopsy was not performed (I presume - the "autopsy authorized by" entry on the death certificate has the "no" box checked). The certificate lists myocardial infarction as the cause, with hypertension and chronic renal failure as other significant conditions. Absent an autopsy, how certain is it that MI was the cause of death? I'm just curious (perhaps morbidly so) if this is one of those situations where you can look at a person's weight, general physical condition, and medical history and say with reasonable certainty "Yep, it's an MI, dollars to donuts."Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017917923425295830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-39337006613204424592008-08-13T01:36:00.000-05:002008-08-13T01:36:00.000-05:00This was completely hilarious!

You do point out some very obvious and rather interesting points, as to the fact that we are curious creatures. Its always very strange and uncomfortable for someone else to point out the quite obvious; but like i said you do it in a very humerous way. i enjoyed it.i.love.Himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732742344857778261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-17045966767900215282008-08-08T23:31:00.000-05:002008-08-08T23:31:00.000-05:00sam was the brains of that operation.sam was the brains of that operation.911DOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466669111561150174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-53771426487631332822008-08-08T23:11:00.000-05:002008-08-08T23:11:00.000-05:00I love it when they bring in a jar of some bodily ...I love it when they bring in a jar of some bodily fluid or excrement.
