Francisco Diaz spends his life thinking about death.
If, God forbid, you should die a non-natural death in the District of Columbia
When people were pronounced dead at hospitals or died at home, we went to pick up the decedents. We have a Biosafety Level 3 suite, and that’s where we did the swabs [to test for Covid]. We opened an alternate morgue site that had refrigerated trucks for a few months. It was very intense. It took all the effort of each and every employee here for that period of time. As an agency, I think we did a remarkable job.
That’s what makes forensic pathology, or being a medical examiner, stressful for a lot of people. Because as opposed to other medical fields, there is no positive feedback. So you can be a surgeon and work a million hours a week, but you may get the feedback “Thank you, doctor, for saving my brother’s life.” As a forensic pathologist, you don’t get that call. You’re not going to tell me, “Great job you did on the autopsy of my Uncle Joey.” You’re not going to say that.
