Coroner Job Questions & Answers

For me, I would say a coroner. You might get a mutilated or decomposed corpse, a dead child, I don't how I would be able to go to bed at night after seeing that. Much respect to coroners, tough job but someones gotta do it. Blessing: My question is in English. I'm not the most articulate person so I don't word things in the best way. People like you make me feel insecure about that. C you next Tueday, darling. That's all I gotta say.

I actually haven't even started college, but I have a huge interest in becoming a coroner/medical examiner. Will having a bachelors degree in FS get my foot in the door? I actually want to be the one who slices them open and roots through their organs....I'm guessing I need to be an MD right?

I have found information on several websites stating that you should go into those yet they give a different explanation of each. I would like to become a coroner. I would like to perform autopsies and determine time and cause of death, etc. Which do I choose?

Last year many may have read about the Taylor University students and faculty that were killed in an auto accident. Two of the students were misidentified by the coroner. The coroner had no real professional training. He was our former mayor. I thought coroners had to be doctors or trained medical professionals. Anyone? Serious answers only.
