Personally, the Medical Examiner is not a fan of Halloween. Why? Well, aside from the fact that it celebrates all things ghoulish and demonic (as well as being fattening and promoting tooth decay), Halloween, like a number of other holidays, tends to bring out the worst in people. Why else would hospitals announce every year that they will x-ray candy …
How did this happen???
The latest issue of the Medical Examiner, dated Friday, October 17, was posted Friday, October 17, on Facebook and on issuu.com (it’s always at issuu.com/medicalexaminer), bit for some reason not here at the Medical Examiner blog. It was probably all the excitement surrounding our Bicentennial (200th) Issue. Let us herewith rectify that oversight immediately.

The Helicopter Issue drops
Not literally, silly. I don’t need the NTSB on my case. But the cover story today is about a disturbing trend: jailing moms (and sometimes dads) for leaving their kids unattended for five minutes. You know, the kind of things our parents used to do to us for five hours. Mothers are being hauled off to jail; kids are being …
Extra! Extra!
Here it is, today’s Medical Examiner. It features a lot in just 16 pages: the usual faves like the world’s only Augusta-based crossword puzzle with clues only locals will get and a semi-wicked Sudoku and two other word puzzles (for brain health). Then you’ve got your Pharmacy 411, a delicious AND healthful recipe (for popsicles) as well as all the …
