How can we detect the GHB from urine sample by LCMS?
Is there any simple method?

I’m sorry but I’ve never worked in toxicology. Sorry I couldn’t help!

How do you do a ride along?

Contact your local PD and ask what their procedure is. You will probably have to fill out an application and a waiver. Best of luck!

I would like to know if an autopsy conducted on a woman buried in dry soil for three years
could determine if she had an abortion, being the cause of her death.
Thank you
Karen

That’s a good question…I know that the human body will either decompose or desiccate, so if the conditions were right and she dried out instead of breaking down, then the body might be largely preserved. But what could be determined from an autopsy would be a question for a pathologist, I’m afraid. Sorry I’m not more help.

Have you ever almost got fired before?

Not that I know of.

Biggest pet peeve out of co workers? I also heard working at police and sherif departments your lunch is always stolen is this true?

Asked by Mike about 6 years ago

That's never happened to me at the police department, but then there's only my forensic unit with access to our refrigerator so it's not a problem. But it used to happen in the lunch room at the coroner's office all the time! I injected candy with hot sauce once. That stopped it for about a week.

Haha what if some of your old co workers see your post LAMO that’s too funny

Asked by Mike about 6 years ago

Do you have any suggestions for a research topic in forensic science for a class project?

Wow, that’s a tough question—I can think of projects and experiments, but research....and what ages? I can ask my coworkers for suggestions.
