Bloody Effin Revenue Collectors

[Lou Girardin]

No and yes.

[wkid_one]

5 days - no ticket yet

[scumdog]

Yeah right, Spud. You prepare bodies at the morgue.
Save the emotive crap, I've seen all that stuff too. And a biker skewered on a hay rake. It will always happen; even if Police and LTSA get their full enforcement wish list.
You may believe the dogma, most people don't.
Apparently, the 1 million odd drivers prepared to kill aren't very good at it. They only killed 32 people last year.

WooHoo Lou, go for it!!! Who the eff cares what the LTSA etc say? go as fast as you want, don't worry what Police and LTSA say, just pay the tickets as you get them (at least this kind of "taxing" is avoidable for the prudent!).

Time to find another windmill to tilt at Don (Lou) Quixote, - say one of the thousands of other lies that you can hear being spouted by politicians for instance, after all you ain't changed anything (opinions included) by you perpetual moaning about LTSA, Police etc so maybe it's time to try another target and see if you have any more success

[Lou Girardin]

Nah. I'm happy with this one.

[Mongoose]

Nah. I'm happy with this one.

Why is it that people know the rules, play the game and still complain?

[scumdog]

Nah. I'm happy with this one.

Hmmmm, "happy" is not the word I would have associated with your comments

[Lou Girardin]

Rules are made to be changed. Unless they're written in stone.

[speedpro]

Rules are made to be changed. Unless they're written in stone.

Except if they're about what the company given the Telecom domestic network has to do. In that case the stones got "lost". In actual fact they were in a storage room under the old parliament buildings.

Rules are made to be changed. Unless they're written in stone.

Or made to be broken - the stone ones were broken too weren't they?

Just don't get caught eh !!

[spudchucka]

Ohh hell had beter wrap up in cotton wool then and hide inside under the covers............ Oh crap that wont work the bloody roof might fall in

Wrong Brockie, Marty.

Hey Lou pull your fecken head in mate. Preparing bodies in the morgue is a regular job for police. Every sudden death has to be attended by police who act for the coroner. That includes victims of car wrecks, suicides, deaths that occur in the operating rooms, any death that a doctor will not sign a cause of death certificate is a coroners case.

For your information and you should know this anyway the mortuary procedure is the job of police. The job entails stripping the body, examining the body for injuries and noting what they consist of and where they are, securing property for the relatives to uplift later, cleaning the body of foriegn objects such as broken glass and car parts etc for the safety of the pathologist and writing a detailed report to the coroner. Relatives that wish to view the body can only do so in the presence of the police because until the post mortem examination is complete the body is in police custody. For the sake of the victims families police will bend over backwards to make the deceased as presentable as possible. This is not a plesent job in many cases, especially with MVA victims.

Call it emotive crap if you want. After all you just want to score your pathetic little points against me. The fact is someone asked about this stuff and I've offered a first hand view of the sort of stuff we encounter.

With the least amount of respect I can possibly muster .

Small man syndrome or perhaps just no life.

Sorry Lou,but can,t agree with you this time, have worked first hand with cops, doing the sort of thing these guys describe, have also worked with DVI team, the worst of all jobs, I have said it before on this site, and will again, no amount of money would convince me to do that work, they are not exagerateing, It is a credit to them that they continue to do this work, there is nothing to be achived by repeating details of incidents I have attended, nor would it be appropriate for me to do so, given the small world we live in, some relative somewhere may recognise the deatils.

Needless to say, its the sort of thing that makes you go home and give your wife and kids an extra hug, I have also been involved in the critical incident stress debreif process, its pretty humbling to see 6 foot tall boof head cops/firefighters and ambos, crying like 3 year olds.


Nuff said from me

Firefight.

.

I can understand your respect for families etc cos I would be horrified to know details of something that killed a family member of mine were being spoken about. However, I personally think shock therapy can work (no facts too base it on, just how it has worked for me). But I don't have the right to say whether I would be ok with details repeated in a "teaching" situation as I have not had something like this happen to any loved ones
and do not know how I would feel about it.

Now I know why mum didn't speak about it.

[spudchucka]

Yeah right, Spud. You prepare bodies at the morgue.

Lou,

The bulldozer rollover occurred in a rural area. The victim had been partially buried for several hours before he was discovered. I did not attend the scene. He was flown by helicopter to my town and I carried out the mortuary procedure with a female collegue. As he had been buried for several hours he was caked in dirt from head to toe. The pathologist can not conduct a post mortem on a body in that condition. It was my responsibility to clean the body, no one else can do it. Both femurs had open fractures, he had multiple puncture wounds in his chest, (presumably from the bulldover controls), his skull had multiple fractures that were open and the brain was exposed, he had also lost one of his eyes. All the open wounds were full of dirt from him being buried. His eye socket and his mouth were also full of soil. All the dirt had to be cleaned away for the pathologist and as mentioned before the guys wife was coming to see him, (she did not know her husband was dead until after he had been flown away from the scene). This involved scrubbing and hosing the body until all the dirt was gone. The head was the hardest bit to clean because of the large number of fractures, (his head was like a crushed egg shell and was only being held together by skin). My collegue could not handle this part of the procedure and had to leave the morgue. The whole procedure took slightly more than one hour. Thankfully this was near the end of my shift and I didn't have to accompany the guys widow for viewing.

Next time you want to tell me what my job consists of check your facts and think very hard about what you are saying. If you don't like what I say thats fine, I don't really care at all but don't presume to know what I do on a daily basis.
