Do you have an unusual occupation to tell us about?

I am inquisitor. The ministry of the inquisition is a very rare occupation.

There has been less inquisitors than popes.

I believe I may be the only living inquisitor in the entire world.

I fear that I may be the last of the inquisitors.

For 2 summers while in high school, and before starting college I worked in a pathology lab. I knew I wanted a medical career, so this was a good start. Among other jobs, I was taught how to draw blood and set up lab tests. (No automated testing back then.) I stained Pap smear slides, and helped prepare surgical specimens for the pathologist to examine. The most interesting work was assisting the pathologist at autopsies. Dissecting a frog in biology class, and studying human anatomy from a book pale to insignificance when compared to the real thing. I remember assisting at a post mortem exam on a child—maybe 5 or 6 years old, who sadly died after being sick for only a few days. It was thought he had some type of infection. Oddly, the autopsy didn’t show anything obvious. But the blood cultures confirmed he had menigococcemia. This is when meningitis bacteria infect the blood stream. Very high mortality unless antibiotics are started immediately. Just being exposed to specimens is risky. So the pathologist and I had to take antibiotics for 10 days. My mother was pretty freaked out by it. But exposures to pathogens are an occupational hazard in health care. It didn’t dissuade me.
