While channel surfing to find some brain food from the television, I may have watched:
Dr. G: Medical Examiner
Prescription For Change
TV-PG, CCDr.G investigates the mysterious death of a woman with almost no medical history. A known prescription drug addict is found dead at a friend’s house, with 2 empty pill bottles. Dr G. doesn’t assume overdose – since no pills are found in her stomach.
I’m not sure if this was the correct show but the diagnosis was hyperthyroid, which made the woman all sweaty. The heart couldn’t keep up with the lack of oxygen and the women went into cardiac arrest. She didn’t have any atherosclerosis but her heart was enlarged and so was her thymus gland.
The blood tests helped the medical examiner complete her work, which she needed PRIOR to signing off the death certificate for this young woman, who died in a dress which according to the doctor is unusual.
If Barry and pals think they could mess around with the current medical technology, mysterious deaths could not have been solved.
