Description of internal organs
The great majority of the descriptions were judged satisfactory or better, and only 3/44 were unsatisfactory. The reasons given were extreme brevity, for example, no mention of the coronary arteries in an ischaemic heart death case, and the fact that in a patient with presumed post fracture local sepsis, the site of the fracture was not examined for evidence of infection; normally the fracture site is not examined internally unless there are questions over the pathology underlying the fracture, or its treatment.
