My First Autopsy!!!!

05.02.2018 I AM SO ANNOYED! I AM SO SO ANNOYED. TODAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY.. never mind. Let me start at the beginning. Its just UGH. So I had just woken up and made myself a nice morning brew. When I saw Harry's update. I was so excited that I almost dropped my coffee. I mean its sad that there was a murder but it was my first real job!! How could I not be excited? I was waiting for Antonio to show up so much that he almost fell into my house because I opened the door as he was about to knock. Antonio is such a sweetheart, bless him, he thought I'd faint when I saw the body, he'd even brought me a bit of that rum him and José have for some liquid courage. Gosh was he surprised when I gave no reaction! Anyways I had no time to make a proper autopsy report because of the meeting he'd scheduled. I quickly dressed up and got to the restaurant. Yusuf was already there and motioned me over, he asked me about the body, I could barely contain my excitement as I told him about it. Almost everyone was there. June was sitting with the other women calming everyone down, she looked beautiful even while grieving. Jose also went over to help her. Akira and George were giggling about something together as usual. Mocair was hovering about. I can't seem to place him even though I'm at his bar practically every weekend. I could HEAR Erin and akeno enter from the kitchen, by that of course I mean I could hear Erin. She grumbles like one of those cars that she repairs. Akeno's cute though, he was eating a bright blue popsicle, and somehow managed to look like a child at whatever age he is, I don't know fifty? Klaudia was there too, she came in late and for once seemed excited and interested in the meeting as well? She's not half bad I suppose. What surprised me was Sariah being there, I did not expect that. Yusuf looked a bit surprised about it too. I guess I'm not the only one with an interest in the macabre. ANYWAYS right after I had my big moment and gave my first ever opinion on a body, HARRY MATTHEWS HAD TO PIPE IN AND RUIN EVERYTHING. What does he know about the body? Sure he discovered but does he have a degree in forensics? I THINK NOT. The scars will not part of a scuffle and were DELIBERATE. I am ready to die on that hill. And I was going to press my point but Yusuf asked me not to. He said though he trusted me completely he didn't want there to be a fight between the townsfolk at such a trying time. He's so thoughtful. Of course this meant that I had to suck it up as the townspeople murmured among themselves about my NON EXISTENT INCOMPETENCE but who cares. I know I'm right and nothing Harry says will change that. I don't know why he's lying. Perhaps... No he doesn't seem the type. Regardless Antonio thinks its a drifter, and Antonio is almost always right about things like this. All I'm saying is if there's a murder hungry drifter in town, I hope he knows where the press is.

06.02.2018 Anyway. Yusuf came over to the morgue in the afternoon because he wanted to see me do my first proper murder autopsy. I was so excited because this is my first legitimate unnatural death autopsy and I knew Yusuf was excited too. He even said that I looked really professional and cool in my scrubs. He’s always so nice. It is a pity that his spirits did not last till the end of the autopsy. He went really quiet when I removed the white sheet from the body. I hadn’t expected him to be affected by gore but he was. I showed him the stab wounds on the victim- the one’s at his heart and the others that Harry had announced were ‘accidental’. I pointed out the horizontal slash across his abdominal head and one at the back of his knee. This puzzled me to no extent. It was clear to me that the precision with which the cuts were made meant that this had to be deliberate, by why in those exact spots is still a mystery to me. Yusuf seemed really taken aback by the body. I was surprised because I didn’t expect him to be someone who can’t handle some bloody visuals. Yusuf was clearly a bit uncomfortable because of the body so we left soon after. The autopsy report is ready but I’ll give it to Antonio tomorrow. Yusuf and I went to the pub after the autopsy. Things happened there but I am too tired to elaborate on them as of now.
