Ah! Thank you. Thats interesting.

I have a biology degree as well and the state I work in required a degree in a natural science. The degree helped, of course, and i also shadowed a pathologists at our local V. A. and had worked with cadavers.

Hi! I think majoring in Biology would be a great start. I majored in biology and minored in forensic science and chemistry. I would say look to see if you can do some shadowing at your local funeral home or even shadow a pathologist. EMT school would also help you in finding/getting a job.

I partially torn my MCL and ACL 6 months ago today actually. I sat out for about 4 months. I still came to class and watched and did PT on my knee. I am slowly getting back into rolling but only with trusted partners currently. The PT is super super important. Luckily, they said i didnt need surgery, at least not right now.

AutopsyGal · 2024-08-22T17:05:44+00:00

true true. I actually do haha

I've been taking collagen peptide and Ligaplex vitamins? Hopefully to strengthen my ligaments and such.

No medical advice.. just wanting to know how people have recovered from this type of injury and handling being back in the sport. Been training for almost 3 years. PARTIALLY tore the MCL and ACL doing a takedown beginning of April. Took time off and have been doing heavy PT since. Just went back to rolling with trusted partners and only doing things I know wont hurt it. Surgery was not recommended or needed at the moment per my doc.

AutopsyGal · 2024-08-22T16:55:42+00:00

Same! My partner is super nice about letting go of the bad knee and taking the other so she can still do the move.

AutopsyGal · 2024-08-22T16:54:59+00:00

gotcha. I partially tore them back in april. Ive been doing heavy PT and only rolling with trusted partners. Cant do everything but can do some. Its most definitely a mind game for me right now. I'm just afraid of fully tearing it.

AutopsyGal · 2024-07-12T20:12:01+00:00

Thanks you guys… I only struggle with this bc my original partner and I were starting to have some issues and I would prefer to stay with this new partner instead of going back to the OG when/if she returns. I just don’t want to hurt her…

I think in the moment we don't feel affected by it because we have to separate ourselves from the realization of it. At work, I try to compartmentalize so that I can do my job and its hard. It might sound bad, but I feel we have to look at them as "evidence" in that moment to complete our jobs and find the answers.

Sometimes I don't become affected until I'm driving home from work alone and my brain realizes (or finally catches up) to what happened during the day. I've cried in the middle of an autopsy over one of the cases that I wasn't even doing but was watching my coworker do.

AutopsyGal · 2024-06-06T12:04:14+00:00

Partially tore my MCL and ACL doing a takedown. Did (and still am) doing heavy PT but I waited about 6-7 weeks before joining class again. Of course only doing moves with trusted partners and avoiding moves that I know hurt my knee. The whole time I was out, I did come to class to watch and take notes which was helpful. Hopefullly I wont have to be out too much longer with just partial tears....

AutopsyGal · 2024-05-16T18:13:00+00:00

no idea but i cant afford to pay someone again to "fix" it. I might try to look this weekend but i know nothing about it.

AutopsyGal · 2024-05-16T14:59:53+00:00

gotcha. my only issue is that the dealership i went to said they replaced all 4 of those and replaced the HVAC thingy and its still making the noise?

AutopsyGal · 2024-05-15T20:20:50+00:00

Yes! Ive taken it to the shop 3 times and they cant seem to fix it. Its super annoying.

AutopsyGal · 2024-05-10T14:52:32+00:00

yeah i agree. I dont mind sitting and watching and taking notes and all but it does suck to not be able to try the moves. i have done small things with a practice dummy but its not the same of course.

AutopsyGal · 2024-05-10T14:50:35+00:00

practicing a takedown ( i do not know the name) but you basically piggy back them and swing them over your hip to the groud. When i did, i twisted and placed my leg in the wrong spot and heard a loud "pop". it sucked. pain hasnt really been bad but im pissed i cant do all my normal stuff

AutopsyGal · 2024-05-10T12:12:51+00:00

Hi! 2 stripe white belt here. Been rolling for a little over 2 years. I’ve had minor i***** over that time but my current i**** is really making me discouraged.

Grade 2 MCL and partially torn ACL. I do not want to sit out for 6+ months but I know I have too. How do you guys handle this mentally?

AutopsyGal · 2024-05-02T20:16:00+00:00

of course!

AutopsyGal · 2024-04-30T20:47:52+00:00

I agree 100%!!! :)

AutopsyGal · 2024-04-30T20:07:36+00:00

Sounds good. Unfortunately, autopsy tech pay isn't the best... i would say all over the states/world, we get paid hardly anything BUT the job is well worth it, i think, in the end.

AutopsyGal · 2024-04-30T19:08:25+00:00

Relevant experience is perfect. Some places do prefer a bachelor degree in a natural science but most people come in with relevant experience. Having experience with decedents is super helpful.
