0:00.0	Bodybacks with Joseph Scott Moore.
0:04.0	When people meet me many times that have heard me on a podcast or seen me on television,
0:12.0	one of the first questions they ask are one of the first comments they make is I cannot begin to understand how you did for a living what you did for so long.
0:28.3	And it always comes back around to the fact that I essentially lived with the dead.
0:39.3	Now, yeah, I understand. I'm a forensics guy and I'd go out and I work cases.
0:43.3	I interacted with my colleagues.
0:46.3	But I got to tell you, there were many weeks when I literally spent more time with dead folks than I did with living folks. And there were many times in my
0:57.6	life, I preferred being around the dead. It generally don't give you any issues at all. There's no
1:03.6	surprises with them most of the time. I mean, yeah, you'll find pathology. But, you know, the dead are dead.
1:13.5	And the living going about their life.

And we were real busy that summer when that happened. And so just because you have a major loss of life incident
2:27.9	in a medical examiner or coroner's office, does that mean, does not mean that the everyday other cases stop coming in? It's kind of like,
2:36.8	and I wouldn't presume, to necessarily compare myself literally to my colleagues that worked
2:43.4	9-11 at the OCEME in New York, but you have to understand, you have the Twin Towers collapsed, the other
2:51.9	buildings collapsed, you had thousands of dead, but Dave, homicides didn't stop. You know,
2:58.0	you didn't have fatal events that just ceased because that one moment in time, we had a major
3:04.5	loss of life. Things happen, and sometimes you get stacked up with the dead.
3:10.2	And in a way, you become numb to it, I think.
