>>/118665/ you could try reading and backing up your assertions with documentation instead of pontificating this explains the doctors duties and how each element of the cert is to be handled - very enlightening Death certificates and death investigations in the United States https://www.uptodate.com/contents/death-certificates-and-death-investigations-in-the-united-states This explains how the CDC suggests Diamonds cause of death should have been handled. - does not parallel what has been reported U.S. Department of Health and Human Services • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention • National Center for Health Statistics • National Vital Statistics SystemVital Statistics Reporting Guidance Report No. 3 ▪ April 2020 Guidance for Certifying Deaths Due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19) https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/vsrg/vsrg03-508.pdf This lib rag explains how there was a peak in autopsies 50 years ago, the cost, how modern hospitals get paid whether they do or don't do autopsies. Once Routine, Autopsies Now Scarce At U.S. Hospitals https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2011/12/15/143775369/once-routine-autopsies-now-scarce-at-u-s-hospitals But I cannot find any numbers, just general statements about how "many" autopsies were performed 50 years ago, 100 years ago or more. We all know that's how they learned anatomy back then, but that does not prove it was widespread and all the time willy nilly when ever they wanted. So go ahead and prove that for us. Now if the death was suspicious, all bets are off. There will be an autopsy, then and now. The end.
