Upon discharge from a Nebraska trauma center, a 19-year-old woman set off security alarms going through the exit. Her explanantion is a mix of ambition and desperation…
A woman accused of stealing medical supplies from a medical center told police she had good reason to take the items: She needed them to study to be a coroner.
A search of her pockets turned up six latex gloves, three tubes of lubricating jelly, 13 Band-Aids and 53 alcohol wipes, police said.
The woman said she wants to be a coroner and for practice she opens up dead animals to study them. She said she needed the items to keep her safe from disease.
…no, seriously: why does a coroner-in-training need lubricating jelly for working with dead animals?
