How long does an autopsy typically take?
The actual performing of the autopsy depends on the complexity of the case and how many people are assisting. I have been to facilities where 3 took place in less than 2 hours.

What is a normal blood count for anemia?
Anemia is defined as a hemoglobin level below 13. The doctors usually don't worry about it until is is below 10. If you are showing symptoms between 10 & 13, they would also be concerned. Symptoms would be paleness, tiredness, bruising easily and/or seeing blood when you go to the bathroom. They will figure out what type of anemia you have and treat accordingly. Good luck.
