Schedule 2 of the Coroners Rules6 lists the data that
should be in the report made to a coroner by a pathologist who has performed an
autopsy. The traditional autopsy report that pathologists use from training
onwards has a somewhat different structure: demographic data, history of the
patient's illness, external examination, internal examination, additional
investigations (e.g. histopathology of tissue samples), cause of death, clinicopathological
correlation. In this section, that order is followed for presentation of the
results and discussion. |
