What are the Benefits of Post-mortem examination or Autopsy |
|||
Text 
|
Autopsy aids in finding out missed diagnoses and help in preventing repetition of these medical errors in future cases. Thus it helps in improving the quality of medical care for other similar patients. Mortality statistics can be created. Death certificates in the absence of autopsy findings often yield inaccurate data. |

Posted on: 09/12/2012 Did you know that Legionnaire's disease was discovered as a result of autopsy. In 1976 34 of the 221 delegates died when they attended an American Legion conference in Philadelphia. Food poisoning was ruled out and after this it became apparent that they had inhaled a bacterium Legionella on autopsies.
