1). Split appointment....
- one half clinical: anatomy & pathophysiology
- one half for criminal justice program: forensics - e.g., ballistics & firearms, explosives, odontology, blood spatter analysis, and my specialty - osteology. Also consult in osteology cases.

2). Nope - LGS had no ammo

Answer to my post...
Some of the answer might be just a tad over my head. Lol. So, I looked it up.
I knew what most of it was.... :)

Osteology:

the study of the structure and function of the skeleton and bony structures

I wonder some days:). While I can explain (and spell:) transient neonatal hypogammaglobulinemia - some days I can’t remember where I parked my truck:)

Oh, you're gonna fit right in here! Welcome from Ca. Finding factory ammo is a chore.
