Inside COVID-19: Unseen Challenges in Post-Mortem Care and Tracking

We like to believe the opposite of addiction is actually connection, and we are going to attempt to educate you and possibly even entertain you while we navigate all topics.
Imagine stepping into the shoes of a medical examiner during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Addiction Connection', Dr. Heather Bell and Dr. Kurt DeVine shift gears from their usual addiction-focused content to tackle the pressing issues brought on by the coronavirus crisis. Featuring a stellar lineup of experts, including Dr. Stover, former Cook County Coroner, and Dr.
Quinn Stobl from the Midwest Medical Examiner's office, the episode dives deep into the intricacies of post-mortem care and the complexities of tracking COVID-19 cases. Listeners will gain a rare behind-the-scenes look at how death certificates are handled, the importance of accuracy in these documents, and the stringent regulations surrounding cremation. Representatives from the Minnesota Department of Health also join the discussion, offering valuable insights into epidemiology and vital records during the pandemic. Drs.
Bell and DeVine bring their expertise and empathy to the forefront, making this episode not just informative but also deeply engaging. They touch on Minnesota's approach to managing hospitalized COVID-19 patients and hint at exciting special guests in future episodes. If you're curious about the lesser-known aspects of the pandemic or work in a related field, this episode is a must-listen.
It's packed with practical information and resources that could be incredibly useful for mortuary science professionals and anyone interested in understanding the full scope of COVID-19's impact.
