• On a different issue, I'd like to know whether you think America does a good job investigating how and why people die. A cause of death is listed on all death certificates inthe United States. Give me your best guess on how often doctors and medical examiners find the true and correct reason why people die. Do they always find the correct cause of death, usually find it, only sometimes find it or never find the true cause of death?
