Autopsy

Life in the Trenches with a Forensic Pathologist in Africa

De: Ryan Blumenthal

Narrado por: Ettienne Durandt

As a medical detective of the modern world, forensic pathologist Ryan Blumenthal’s chief goal is to bring perpetrators to justice. He has performed thousands of autopsies, which have helped bring numerous criminals to book.

In Autopsy he covers the hard lessons learnt as a rookie pathologist, as well as some of the most unusual cases he’s encountered. During his career, for example, he has dealt with high-profile deaths, mass disasters, death by lightning and people killed by African wildlife.

Blumenthal takes the listener behind the scenes at the mortuary, describing a typical autopsy and the instruments of the trade. He also shares a few trade secrets, like how to establish when a suicide is more likely to be a homicide.

Even though they cannot speak, the dead have a lot to say - and Blumenthal is there to listen.

Got what I wanted!

I beautiful constructed journey through the day in the life of Dr Blumenthal. I will actually listen to this again some day.

in the forensic pathology world

fast "read".i felt like a student. it was an interesting career choice especially in South Africa,

Thrilling

Excellent account of what happens behind the scenes. Really eye opening. I could not stop listening. Thank you

Nobody knows

Times of laughter (no body, no nose) but mostly a pure education, enlightenment, and understanding of forensics. Thoughtfully written and well read. A good listen for anyone alive to remember to appreciate life.

A brave insight into an otherwise unknown world

It is a book daringly written with honesty and scientific rigour. That provides insight to both the pathological aspects and criminology. The life lessons was authentic and hit home. Highly recommended

Informative and interesting

This book contained some rare insight into forensic pathology specifically in Africa. It was just the right length and enough detail to make it interesting. The narrator was also very good as a bad narrator can destroy an otherwise good book.

The best pathologist book and audio book ever.

I've read many medical examiner books and audio books over the years. This is by far the absolute best medical examiner/forensic pathologist I've ever encountered so far. This audiobook was so inspiring from start to finish, and, at times, I didn't want to stop listening to it because I wanted to know what was in the next chapter! Absolutely excellent narrator as well. The only bad part of this book is when I finally finished it...I didn't want it to end! I wanted to know even more about his cases and career.

10/10 perfection 🤌

very interesting!!!! learned quite abit from this

very engaging. who knew the guillotine was not a quick way to go!!! great listen.

The professionalism and ethics

As a aspiring forensic journalist I loved this book and will be listening to again and again
