Police surgeon???

It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.

…and no, I have no clue about what a police surgeon is either.

I think something was lost in translation.

From British English, that the world uses, to US English, that is foisted upon everyone by the loudest person in the room.

Probably “medical examiner” or similar medical doctor that does work for the police to determine things like cause of death and other injuries possibly obtained while dying.

eRac@lemmings.world on 01 Mar 13:36 collapse

This is the British meaning of surgeon, so just general doctor vs. doctor who cuts people up.

A police surgeon is a doctor trained in forensics. They assess injuries after an assault, whether a prisoner needs medical attention, etc. They are often a normal operating doctor who does police work when needed.

That sounds similar to what would be called a “medical examiner” in the US.

You mean a police surgeon?

Thank you. The other sub thread explaining this is doing a terrible job.

idiomaddict@lemmy.world on 01 Mar 17:47 collapse

Wait, is there a specific term for a doctor who primarily operates in British English?

CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world on 01 Mar 17:59 collapse

There’s some differences. For example a surgeon in British English can be called Mr instead of Dr.

I’m sure the Trump administration will find a way to blame this on Hillary Clinton.

Mmmm them buttery males.

Why didn’t she defend the consulate? And where even was Biden during the whole incident?

All countries should be attacking US bases on the ground IMO

It’s funny because I hate everyone involved in this conflict. Iran, Israel, USA. They are all the same. Would not mind seeing some more dead dictators.
