Meeting My Match in the 1970s Autopsy Suite

On Friday, we visited the Vancouver Police Museum as part of the Tourism Challenge. One of the notable exhibits is the Morgue and Autopsy Suite.


Located in a recreated 1970s autopsy suite, the historical displays detail exactly how pathologists determined a victim's cause of death. The collection includes actual pathological specimens, preserved body parts, and tissue cross-sections demonstrating injuries from blunt force, sharp force (such as stab wounds), and internal disease.

One of the specimens depicts what I have: lung carcinoma. It was nice to finally put a face to the name.
