If you've ever watched CSI, you know that the job of a pathologist can be just as important and interesting as being a hotshot detective. Official U.S. government statistics claim that there were 21,292 pathologists in 2019 and that the number has increased by 13% since 2011.
Perhaps CSI had nothing to do with it; the nature of the job itself can be just as alluring. If you don't think so, check out these stories from real pathologists who shared the strangest and wildest things they've ever come across inside people's bodies.
Autopsy professionals were prompted by one netizen, who asked: "People who perform autopsies, what was the weirdest/most unique anomaly you've found?" From extra organs to giant tumors and bullets in the cranium – these coroners have seen it all.

I found a junior mint while doing an autopsy. It was lodged in the persons rib.

Not an autopsy but we had a guy die, by David Carradine’ing himself, who had an elaborate piercing. He basically had multiple p***s piercings locked together with a padlock. Wife had no clue where the key was for the coroner. .

I didn't perform an autopsy, I'm a med student here, we came across a cadaver where the kidneys were located way too higher than the normal ones, and the spleen was highly distorted in shape.
