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.

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
