Why Toxicology & Death Certificate Reports Matter in Setting Public Policy
As a Country, we rely on death statistics to improve public policy and enhance overall health. Believe it or not the details in the toxicology and death certificates that are processed through the medical examiner’s office provide valuable information to set public policy. When this information is withheld from the public, it is a detriment to ones personal liberty. National issues, such as mental health treatments, gun control, and the right to privacy are directly impacted and become distorted when numbers are manipulated.
