Dr. G Medical Examiner: Working With The Dead

My name is Dr. G and I'm a medical examiner. Growing up, I had
traditional Christian views that there’s a heaven and a hell, but I
didn’t put much thought into what happens to us after we die. Now that
I’ve worked with the dead as a medical examiner, I see these people are
obviously missing something. It’s not the same entity that was there
when they were alive. There is a soul and it’s a component that is
missing after death. It's fascinating to me, and solving the mystery of
death is my job.

Dear Dr. G.,
I am a 70 yr old male, in reasonalbly good health. Have had surgeries for prostate cancer, left knee replacement, benign throat tumor, & carpal tunner (both hands). I still work in garden every day, work out in gym every other day, and walk doggies, a lab & rescued racing greyhound, daily.
I have also become a great admirer of your program. I taught High School English for 40 yrs, but, had I taught health & safety, I would have wanted to use your programs in the classroom. When I watch one of your shows, I always learn something!
I also am extremely impressed by the humanity you exhibit in your job. You are so compassionate in your treatment of the deceased. I imagine it would be easy to become calloused when repeatedly doing your job. With good humor, with brilliance, and with grace you ply your craft.
If I were ever to be autopsied by you, I hope your final comment would be, "He looks like he was a good guy: loved flowers, dogs, and kids."
Affectionately,
Joe B. Lawrence

Excited Delirium (Cocaine use) That man named Toby, that died from excited delirium because of his cocaine use most likely would still be alive if he had proper nutrition. Cocaine uses up the body's nutrition and if there is not the proper nutrients present, his body, his tissue and body will break down the tissues and other nutrient to meet the needs. His brain, a very complex organ needs proper chemical to function. The delirium most likely resulted from his brain breaking down to meet the needs to function properly. A few trace elements and other nutrients were not present, resulting in his demise. One can ask, why do cocaine? Like any other recreational vice, it is desired to be done. It has been done for thousands of years without any real problems until prohibition decided to ram prohibition down the throats all Americans. God is not impressed. The lack of detailed education and the over whiling prejudice resulted in this young mans demise. Harm reduction would have provided a safe and proper dose in a prejudice free environment. As a doctor, your goal is to find the balance between our needs and vices (both physical and perceived) and health. The collateral damage, with it's lack of minute detail, causes far more harm than the drugs themselves. Sincerely, Wm. Scott Tampa, FL

Re: In the Dead of Night
My name is Russell Sanders. I live in the Dallas, Texas area.
The show that you did about a 25 year old young man named Michael was known for having seizures but didn't take medication for it due to not having insurance. The night before he had been at a party but you were not able to see alcohol in his system and were not able to find cocaine as well. You determine that a bad heart as well as being epileptic had caused his death.
There was a part of the show that you stated that usually people do not die from a seizures unless there was things like swimming and drowning or driving and having a car accident causing death.
My question is.......I had a aunt that passed away in 95. She was epileptic and had seizures. She was on medication but the only thing that has been said about the cause of death was that she had a seizure and passed away. How would I go about finding out the truth about her death? I am having a hard time believing that she passed away because of this seizure. Could I maybe supply you with a medical death certificate or maybe you could get the necessary information and try to determine cause of death? This is actually under the table and no one in my family knows that I am writing this unless you feel that you can state that she could not have died from a seizure unless there was another cause. I really need some type of closure on her death. I was very close to her and need to know. If this does not make sense feel free to contact me directly at my email that was provided.

Hello Dr. G. I am going to be 17 and I believe I have found my calling in life. To be honest, I had no clue that you had a show like this until recent. I would absolutely LOVE to be a medical examiner. Not because I saw your show and thought it was cool, it is because God put me on this earth with one mind set: If I were to drop dead today, no one has a clue why, an autopsy could be performed to find something that could save my mother, father or my baby sister. And that is how I really do think.
You are an inspiration to me, and I would love to meet you one day. It takes certain people to be able to help the deceased's family know why. Thank you for being my inspiration. Keep doing what you do, even though it gets hard. Perservere.

I have a question in regards to a person leading up to death.
I take care of a 79 year old male with congestive heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure, anemia, and the list goes on. He has a pace maker and mechanical heart valve, takes 32 pills a day, and goes in to the hospital for transfusions every 2 months.
How can you tell through blood tests when someone will die?
His BUN is 74
Creatine 4.31
INR 4
Potassium 6.5

Dear Dr. G: My son Jeffery is 7 and is a huge fan of yours. He happened upon your show one night when he woke up and you were on. He is facinated with the stories and what the causes of death are. He has mailed you a letter today and plans to check the mailbox everyday after school for an answer to his question. Jeffery told his 2nd grade teacher about you and your show and she said she was going to watch it. He also plans on being a doctor - in Florida! Your response would be appreciated and will deliver a very excited 7 year old.
Hopefully,
Jeffery's Mom

This is no joke-very serious-please help
TRACKABLE IMPLANT......( what the government doesn't want you to know )
Dr. G
I'm hoping you recieved this letter.The government is monitoring everything i do and when i try to get help they destroy most of my outgoing & incoming messages. I have something serious to talk to you about.
My name is Alan Moravetz. I work for one of the largest companies in the world. I drive tractor trailer for U.P.S. ( They have GPS tracking capabilites of all their vehicles & packages ). I've been with the Co. for 28 yrs.I recieved my sport pilots license last yr.,which enables me to fly with more than 1 person.The reason I'm telling you this is because I want you to know that my sanity is intacted, and I'm sure you know that i would not be able to drive one of the largest piece of machinery on the road or fly an aircrft if i was mentally unstable.
I have been seriously violated in the worst imaginable way that you could think of and I have evidence to back my words up.
This has to do with and is against... U.P.S.,the teamsters union(which i'm sure you know is mofia),Pres. Bush,homeland security(Tom Ridge at the time),all branchs of the government,military,pentagon,CIA,attorney generals office,DEP,several doctors(gastrologist, , therasic surgeon and family practice)and several hospitals,pharmaceutical Co's, F.B.I. , local and state police.
It would take me forever to type everything that i need to say to you. I need to talk to you immediately and to show you the evidence that i have. This evidence will take down all of the above businesses and put a lot of people in jail and at least 1 will get the death sentence.
I'm going to leave you with my address and phone # , but i need to worn you that the government has me under heavy servaillance and is monitoring everything that i do because of what i have against them. They disconnect me from phone calls and the internet when i try to recieve help.
Their guilty of MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ,GPS TRACKING CHIP IMPLANT, WIRE TAPPING, MEDICAL ABUSE, MURDER, ATTEMPTED MURDER, POISONING, BREAKING & ENTERING, DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY, STOCKING, HARRASSMENT, ILLEGAL SERVAILLENCE.
I made copies of the disc (evidence). They broke into my home and destroyed 4 out of 5 of the discs, the 5th disc was with me and will always be 24-7. I since then made more copies.
Their trying to scrap up any kind of dirt on me that they can so it will make them look good if this ever gets to court. Like i said before, I'm followed 24-7 where ever i go. If theres security there, they'll inform them to survaillance me upon my arrival. When I'm on the road the local and state police are aware of my presence. U.P.S. is even paying private people to follow me along with management & employees.This is not only when I'm at work, but when I'm off on the weekends, even when I'm on vacation in a different state. U.P.S. has as much to lose as the government, so their working together.
The government has given certain people and businesses emmunity so they can get away with what they have done and are still doing to me. I've been poisoned so many times and in & out of hospitals and doctors offices since 2003. I'm always put on antibiotics for internal infections because of what they put in my food & water. This is taking a major toll on my body. I may have cancer.The hospitals are falsifying alot of my records.
Dr.G.
..We need to talk immediately. . My life depends on it. .......THIS IS THE GOVERNMENT AT IT'S WORST.......

217 Francis L. Cadden Pkwy
Apt.202,
Harrisburg,Pa.17111
717-701-1928....They have this # tapped and it's about the 10th time i've changed #'s, and cell phones.(They do not want any of this to get out to anyone important.They know that there will be total Kaos in the U.S. if the public were ever to find out about what the government has done to a U.S. citizen.)
violated1@hotmail.com....... try to send me an e-mail ,I may not recieve it,.their destroying most of my outgoing & incming messages.,but try anyway.
If all else fails You have my address,try to send a letter,but make sure it's certified.
Please do not contact anyone (police, government,U.P.S., I still work there ,but their doing things to me that are destroying my health and the government is helping them do it) or let anyone convince you not to help me until you listen to what i have to say and show you. They are very good at manipulating people and will convince you that I'm mentally unstable and have done something seriously wrong so they can keep their investigation going to justify what they have done to me. I've been under investigation for over 6yrs now and it will never stop.They'll do anythng they can to make sure this evidence doesn't get to you.
I've been to and tried to talk to several and i mean several lawyers,attorneys,etc.but the government, attorney generals office and law enforcement are always one step ahead of me and convinces them not to help me.
Talk to me first,I have so much to tell you and show you. I have nothing to hide and I am willing to take a lie detector test if you think I'm lying about anything that i tell you and anything that the government & police are saying about me. If you gave all of the people that i mentioned earlier a lie detector test, I garantee you 100% that they will fail.
This is very serious and my life is in danger, it has been for several yrs.. I feel like a fugitive. I have to watch my back everyday everywhere i go.
I have names of a lot of people that are involved in this.
I have a signed letter fom a psycologist & psyciatrist stating that i am perfectly normal. I will explain why i had that done ,hopefully when i see you.
The government never thought that i would find out about what they have done to me. Now that they know that i have serious evidence against them, their doing everything they can to make themselves look like the good guy and making sure i look like the mentally unstable bad guy.
It's me against the government, UPS, the mofia and everyone else i mentioned early...........Who do you thinks going to win....they have everything,money, power,connections,technology.....I have nothing, I am only 1 person with no one on my side, thanks to them ,they've turned everyone against me.
Because of what they have done to me, my life expectancy will never reach the goal i had once set for myself. My liver,kidneys,heart & nose bleeds remind me of that everyday.
Hopefully you will make a differance and help not only me, but anyone else out there that may encounter such a tragety and horrific display of inhumanity and butchery.
If you want to learn more on what i'm talking about go to google and type in verichip then click search......Scroll down to.... verichip microchip implants cause fast growing malignant tumors
" " " " spychips.com......scroll down to spychips how major corp. & Gov. plan to track your every move. You can get the book " Spychips " at the library
This is more than just skin deep for me .A gastologist implanted this chip inside my left lung thru a procedure called an EGD. I was put to sleep against my will. I didn't know anything about what they did til about 7 months later when i started to cough up blood.Went to Hershey medical center where they gave me a CT scan of my lungs.There was 1 in my lower left lung. A couple of years later a thorasic surgeon did something to me involving another implant without me knoing about it.
PLEASE HELP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
If i die before anyone helps me, i would like you to do an otopsy on me to reveil the evidence and broadcast it on national tv

I recently watched an episode where a man was found hanging on a fence by his pants, the man was an alcoholic and had been in the hospital previously with low sodium. What was the term used to describe the base of the brain and the effect the sodium treatment had on him?

Hi Dr. Garavaglia I want to become a nurse and my teacher was telling me that if we (the people in my class and myself) could ever witness a Autopsy then we should. So my question to you is, dose your office offer any type of thing where you can witness one? I just would love to do one in your office because i find your show so interesting and i live in Orlando so it would'nt be far as well =) Please please let me know, even if the answer is no.

Dr G,
Watching you had mad me soo want to be a medical ex. I think you are brilliant and I love your work. You see death as I do also. We are all going to pass one day but you make everything have a purpose and you also help the living to see insight and closure.
Thank you!!

at 16:23 on July 1st, 2009
Dear Dr G,
I never through positively about working with death body. I don't see why would anyone want to do your job. It's not pretty, no humor, and to be honest, it is pretty gross. But after watching your show, it really isn't as bad as I thought it was. You have inspired me that there is more of your job that cutting through pieces of meat. You show American a different point of view, which is great. Your job is almost like a puzzle game. A very intelligent game, while you are helping the unfortunate family, solving the mystery of their love one. Now I'm thinking about going back to school and wish one day I can be just like you. You are a great inspired. Successful, funny, and intelligent. What a great model!
