UPPER THUMB Too little too late is Tuscola County commissioners’ stance toward the company that previously provided medical examiner services now being willing to work on a solution, as the county is moving to a new service.
During the last county meeting, Michigan Institute of Forensic Science and Medicine was once again at the forefront of discussion for more than an hour as the company pitched the county reasons to stay with it.
Both Doctors David Stockman and Russell Bush have weighed in on how they feel MIFSM provides superior service, has better credentials, and they said they are willing to work with the county to keep it as a customer.
