    I was never PLANNING on suing the coroner, just wondering if there is a cause for a lawsuit or complaint against the coroner. Most likely no matter what I find out I won't end up suing anyone. I really don't like the idea of suing people for money, unless I am seriously injured purposely ~through no fault of my own (for instance). However, depending on everything I find out, I might file some kind of complaint against the coroner and the coroner's office.

    Why are you asking?

    There was only one source for the PM toxicology and the coroner argued with me about the unreliability of it.

    Every major professional journal in the fields of forensic pathology, pathology, chemistry etc. has addressed this issue in depth throughout the last 30 years. Every professional organization, in recommendations/guidelines, likewise lists the necessity of multiple-site sampling due to postmortem redistribution. (As ex. See Finkbeiner, etal (2009) Autopsy Pathology p. 171)

    When I mentioned that I had heard that there was a need for multiple-site samples for PM toxicology, she slammed her hand down on the table, rolled her eyes, and said that is completely false.

    You started your thread by stating, "I'm wondering if I can sue the coroner ..." so I thought you were considering suing.

    I wondered, now that you appear to have some evidence, if that was still your plan.

    I don't find my question to be unreasonable when a question involving "can I sue" is posted on a legal board.

    That isn't what I said, I said exactly: " I'm wondering if I can sue the coroner or if there is any action I can take against her " You forgot "OR"

    You are right, your question is not unreasonable, though it is curious since you had said you were unsubscribing to this post and I think you also mentioned that you would not continue to post here.

    And you are right. I did say I was done here and I did come back.

    Now I understand your attitude.

    When a statement contains the word "or" it means you could do this OR you could do that. Your statement - and the conversation that ensued concerning monetary damages - was all about a lawsuit. If you never intended to sue I don't know why that word was even in your opening sentence.

    But, again, you are right. 125 posts and still going around in circles.

    I'm not the one who was talking about getting some kind of monetary award. I asked about suing or a complaint because I don't know correct procedure on things like this, where a complaint of SOME KIND might be warranted. I feel like I've got a lot of good information from this, not like I'm going in circles. You might understand my attitude, but I don't understand yours.
