Gordon's Choice Greg has botched another surgery. It’s no surprise really. He may have the skill and knowledge, but he lacks the mind: once something goes wrong he panics and things just snowball from there. Perhaps another career would suit him better, but to call it quits after four years of medical school, five years residency and $270,000 in student loan debt… That’s an investment. It’s certainly… easier to encourage a bit of sloppiness in the autopsy by shooting me a little bribe.
Still, I have to keep some standards. He gets one body a month, after that he’s on his own.

A disturbing combination of ineptitude and downright dishonesty, but which is worse? Nicely done.

Frightening....I'm sure somewhere along the way this situation has happened.

That's kind of scary. Hope it's fiction.

Reminiscent of Burke and Hare.
