I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
Can’t imagine what gave you that impression, but you sound like one of the above mentioned people who post a question only to goad me into saying something non-PC.

I think your definition of valid and mine may vary.
Share Answer: 
The numbers and codes refer to types of crimes or types of status (busy, on the way, leaving the scene etc.), but they’d be the same no matter who you’re talking to.

I have no idea.

What is the most bizarre thing you've seen in your ER?
I am an expert in some areas of forensic science. I am not an expert in law, public safety policy or our political system.
Share Answer: 
Yes, absolutely. Blood samples can last decades if stored properly. The most important thing is that they’re dried thoroughly right away so there’s no decomposition. After that, they need to be kept away from UV light and at a steady temperature, the lower the better. Frozen is good, or at least refrigerated, but they can even stay at room temperature as long as it doesn’t get too hot or humid.
