The Young & Not So Stupid gals are here with advice on difficult subject: death. Virginia discusses coping strategies for medical students/professionals facing patient death and ways the medical community could improve support systems for students. Frances talks about how forensic professionals tackle disturbing cases and unhealthy coping mechanisms to watch out for. Virginia and Frances end the episode with personal stories. Virginia considers her first experiences with death in medical school, both with her cadaver dissection and first patient death. Frances explains her forensic research in decomposition, and how she realized her studies were considered taboo among her peers.
