Looked at the autopsies
Hi
Certain doctor said:
When we looked at the autopsies of our 20-year-old GIs in Korea and Vietnam, fully 80 percent already had gross evidence of coronary disease that you could see without a microscope.
OK, is he saying that he was looking at the results of the autopsies or he was performing these autopsies?
I understand these soldiers fought in Korea and Vietnam but it doesn't mean the autopsies were performed there?

Hello! My guess would be he looked at the bodies that were in the hospital or wherever. He didn't perform and autopsy, he just saw the bodies that might, or might not, have been examined.

- I don't think there's enough information in order to determine whether the autopsies were performed in Korea and Vietnam, or he just refers to those countries as the place of origin of the generals.

The doctor was most likely reading and citing these sorts of reports: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8335815
