COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER
Dr . Safadi and his assistant , Dr . Posso , were present to discuss the
policies and procedures of the office of County Medical Examiner . Dr .
Safadi explained that the County Medical , Examiner is legally responsible
for any questions that might arise concerning any deaths that occur within
the county including deaths attended by a doctor . Investigations must be
3U
performed whenever a death is unattended as all unattended deaths are
suspicious . Accidents , murders and suicides are the most frequent
e xamples of unattended deaths according to Dr . Safadi . He claimed that
the investigation must take place where there is proper lighting and
adequate facilities . Dr . Safadi emphasized that as long as he has to
sign the certificate of death and it is his responsibility , then judgment
can only be done by examination . A death that occurs on Sunday is not
attended to until Monday as it would be impossible to get the doctor
u ntil Monday and the lab facilities and staff is not working on Sunday ,
according to Dr . Posso . They maintained that all accident victims must
be examined . Their role is to see that there is no foul play according
to Dr . Safadi . He stated that every case is a homicide until the medical
e xaminer proves otherwise . He maintained they are doing their job correctly
and they must assume total responsibility for what they sign . He . surveyed
95 % of the ambulance services and they claim they only make one charge .
Safadi said they are giving full - time coverage , full - time availability ,
✓ esponsibility and accountability for part - time salary . As medical examiner
he earns 56 an hour . Clm Webb said he and Safadi have two different •
points of view in that the family does not expect this long of delay .
Clm Webb said that the doctor always assumes that foul play has occurred ,
w hile the family presumes that there isn ' t any foul play because its their
family . Bradley Perkins representing Perkins Ambulance Service spoke in
favor of the county bearing the cost when the medical examiner orders the
body to the morgue . Perkins claimed it is a justifiable cost and who is
to bear the cost - - the family of the deceased or the county ? Perkins favored
the county bearing the cost . Clm Joubert said he appreciated hearing
how the office works .
