  • A Case of Need written under Jeffery Hudson, by Michael Crichton
    Chapter Five; Part I
    The Autopsy and Pathology Lab at Boston City Hospital. 
    *Footnotes from this chapter are coming. I do, if I come across an important detail or footnote will elaborate. I add some personal details in this chapter because of the hospital and it's clientele. I also did three clinicals while in paramedic school at the Medical University of South Carolina's morgue, observing three different types of deaths. A traumatic autopsy, where they do a full autopsy including the brain, a medical death of known origin, this is a partial autopsy, only the organ or organs that were already known to be the COD are inspected. This is usually an in-hospital death, where the death was witnessed and the medical history is already known. Not all in-hospital deaths are partial, sometimes a full autopsy is called for. Finally an unknown COD, which could be anything from a suspicious medical death to a traumatic injury that resulted in the death of the patient. Homicides, suicides, or anything that may end up in a courtroom.
    MUSC's morgue is the largest in the South Carolina. It is also SLED's official morgue where all of the state's major or infamous deaths are investigated. SLED is SC's State Law Enforcement Division, SC's version of the FBI. Each state has their own Law Enforcement Division or Departments. These are law officers that deal with state-wide criminal cases, assist local LEOs with major cases, raids, and anything to do with minors, they also investigate local LEOs in things like alleged officer involved criminal activity, and handle things like underage drinking// buymeacoffee.come/B.C.Murdoch to assist with books.

    8. CHANGE IN BOOK. A Case of Need by Michael Crichton writing as Jeffery Hudson

      So, I'm breaking into Good Omens to read A Case of Need. It was published in 1963, with its author writing under a pen name, Jeffrey Hudson. It deals with abortion rights and also civil rights and liberties. He had to publish this book, his fourth, under the pen name because of those two issues. Two issues that we are fighting in 2022. 

      It wasn't until 1993 that the author published under his own name. Dinosaur Man himself, Michael Crichton. 

      Protesting won't work, so I'm just going to read. Because this book is important.
