As Clark County, Nevada’s deputy medical examiner, Dr. Gary Telgenhoff (aka “Dr. T”) believes he speaks for the dead. As a forensic pathologist, he deals with dead bodies every day. He recently addressed a group of students and clarified what he does versus what you see on television.

Years ago, Anthony Zuiker, creator and executive producer of the CSI franchise, observed Dr. T’s work at a Las Vegas morgue when he was writing a script. Once Zuiker got CSI off the ground, Dr. T became the show’s forensics consultant.

Dr. T points out that most people get their scientific facts from tv shows. “I make sure those facts are as accurate as possible,” he says. Real life CSIs gather evidence, locate bullets and take a lot of photographs. They do not do most of the things you see on tv. They do not interview witnesses, look through microscopes, perform autopsies, run tests or solve crimes.

A description of Dr. T’s recent talk is one in a series of articles about the CSI franchise found at The Student Operated Press. Other articles include discussion of Horatio seeking redemption on CSI:Miami, the season four CSI:Miami DVD set, the more character-driven nature of CSI:NY and release of the season two CSI:NY DVD set.

Why can't the CSIs get dates?

	All work and no play makes Greg a blue boy.
	It probably has something to do with the fact that every time Horatio Caine has sex with a woman, she dies.
	Shower sex loses its allure when there's lemons involved.
	These people collect body fluids for a living. Then again, if David the coroner can get laid...
	They can get dates, I bet. We just don't see it.
	Three words: Hank the Skank.
