While working as a police officer, I was called to a major 2-car accident scene. It was night, and pouring down rain in buckets. I completed the accident report and submitted it to the higher ups. The next day, I was called into the office and commended for having a medical degree as well as my degree in Criminology. I informed him that I did not have a medical degree, and what gave him that idea? I was told that it takes a doctor or the coroner to pronounce a person "dead". I asked him if he had closely read my report, as the sketch showed item "A", 25' in front of the vehicle, as the driver's head - and that I was SURE that the driver, while the rest of him was still seated behind the wheel behind a large hole in the windshield, was indeed dead and that I did not need a medical degree to prove that fact.....
