Historia
Emily Craig has been a witness to history, helping to seek justice for thousands of murder victims, both famous and unknown. It’s a personal story that you won’t soon forget. Emily first became intrigued by forensics work when, as a respected medical illustrator, she was called in by the local police to create a model of a murder victim’s face. Her fascination with that case led to a dramatic midlife career change: She would go back to school to become a forensic anthropologist - and one of the most respected and best-known “bone hunters” in the nation.

Historia
Dame Sue Black is an internationally renowned forensic anthropologist and human anatomist. She has lived her life eye to eye with the Grim Reaper, and she writes vividly about it in this book, which is part primer on the basics of identifying human remains, part frank memoir of a woman whose first paying job as a schoolgirl was to apprentice in a butcher shop, and part no-nonsense but deeply humane introduction to the reality of death in our lives. It is a treat for CSI junkies, murder mystery and thriller fans, and anyone seeking a clear-eyed guide to a subject that touches us all.

Death. It happens to everyone, yet most of us don't want to talk about this final chapter of existence. Sixth-generation funeral director Caleb Wilde intimately understands this reticence and fear. The son of an undertaker, he hesitated to embrace the legacy of running his family's business. Yet he discovered that caring for the deceased and their loved ones profoundly changed his faith and his perspective on death - and life itself.

They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender reassignment surgery, cadavers have been there alongside surgeons, making history in their quiet way.

Fueled by adrenaline and Sabrett's hot dogs, young Mike spends his days speeding from one chaotic emergency to another. His adventures take him into the middle of incipient race riots, to the scene of a plane crash at JFK airport and into private lives all over Queens, where New Yorkers are suffering, and dying, in unimaginable ways.

Resumen del Editor
Paramedics save lives. Morticians bury their mistakes.
A 23-year veteran of emergency medical services, paramedic Matthew Sias took a detour in his career to pursue the death-care business and found a complementarity between two seemingly divergent careers. Silent Siren: Memoirs of a Life Saving Mortician is the record of some of the more memorable calls he has responded to through the years.
Often intense, at times gruesome, and frequently humorous, this memoir takes you from the back seat of the medic unit racing to the hospital with a trauma patient, to the brightly lit embalming room of a funeral home, and everywhere in between. Having the ability to calmly assist a person in crisis is, perhaps, one of life's most awesome privileges.

Milan, Italy, today. It is the most serious crisis that the world has ever faced. Bewildered, young and old, believers and atheists are asking all the same distressing questions: What will they do now that the greatest dream of humanity has turned into a nightmare? What will happen when the countdown clock winds to zero?

Historia
In the late 1990s, a young physician in Albuquerque, New Mexico, published a stunning memoir of his experiences in the highly charged world of the ER. Presented in a series of powerful, poetic vignettes, The Blood of Strangers became an instant classic. Now, over two decades later, Dr. Frank Huyler delivers another dispatch from the trenches—this time from the perspective of middle age. In portraits visceral, haunting, sometimes surreal, Huyler reveals the gritty reality of medicine practiced on the razor’s edge between life and death.

In a matter of weeks, Massachusetts has been overrun by an insidious rabies-like virus that is spread by saliva. But unlike rabies, the disease has a terrifyingly short incubation period of an hour or less. Those infected quickly lose their minds and are driven to bite and infect as many others as they can before they inevitably succumb. Hospitals are inundated with the sick and dying, and hysteria has taken hold. To try to limit its spread, the commonwealth is under quarantine and curfew. But society is breaking down and the government's emergency protocols are faltering.

Rachel Pearson confronted these harsh realities when she started medical school in Galveston, Texas.

As a seasoned paramedic and union leader, Anthony Almojera thought he could handle anything his job threw at him. Like many medical first responders, he came from a troubled background and carried the traumas of the city as well as its triumphs. He had grown up in the rough-and-tumble Park Slope of the 1980s, been homeless for a time, and had watched murder, addiction, and hopelessness consume those closest to him. But he had dedicated his life to helping people in need, and while every day was filled with tragedy—stabbings, shootings, accidents, suicides—it also brought moments of uplift.

Nearly two decades after it closed, the South Carolina State Hospital continues to hold a palpable mystique in Columbia and throughout the state. Founded in 1821 as the South Carolina Lunatic Asylum, it housed, fed, and treated thousands of patients incapable of surviving on their own. The patient population in 1961 eclipsed 6,600, well above its listed capacity of 4,823. By the mid-1990s, the patient population had fallen under 700, and the hospital had become a symbol of captivity, horror, and chaos.

Good Book
I enjoyed listening to this book. I personally know Matt and I think he did a great job writing this book. The downside is the reader. he doesn't know how to say a lot of the words in the book and instead of finding out just guessed. Still a good book and worth a read or listen.

Informative. Compassionate.
I love how this author has such a passion for compassion. There are many stories of patients, both here and gone-all told with brilliant observation to each one in order to handle them with such compassion.
It amazes me that a person is compelled to serve the dead with the utmost dignity and respect, even when nobody, including the patient (?) is looking.

Well written book
This was a thoroughly enjoyable book telling the stories of a young boy turned paramedic in the Pacific Northwest. His writing portrayed the scenes vividly and I felt like I was standing in the room. While many stories ended sadly there were plenty of happy outcomes as well. Later in the book he talks about his transition to undertaker and that was interesting how he combined the two jobs for a short time. What I didn't appreciate was his incessant fat-shaming of clients while he went to scenes as a paramedic. Once I could maybe tolerate but clearly he had an issue with overweight people or as he called them, morbidly obese. He talked a lot about how compassionate he was in his job. But his compassion clearly wasn't available for the overweight population. For this I took off one star. Maybe I should have taken off two. It just wasn't necessary. It didn't add anything to the book at all.

What ends up in an urn, after cremation, are only the bones, pulverized. Regardless of how obese a person was, the size of their skeleton does not increase. The claim that this person, around "300 pounds" required two urns to hold the cremains is not accurate.💀🦴

Outstanding book
Started listening to this book out of my interest in everything first responder related.
Well little did I know that this book actually plays out where I live!!
Which made listening even more interesting!
Amazing, informative, great range of emotion invoking.
An absolute joy to listen to and was very sad when it ended!
Could have listened for many more hours!
A must for everyone interested in first responder stories!!

Intense Fatfobia
I wanted (so much) to rate this higher then I did. I loved the storytelling, but what started as slight discomfort turned into full blown cringe by Pt II. The focus on obese people, both as the punchline and the focus of “difficult cases” crossed the line into bullying. It honestly ruined the whole thing, which sucked because otherwise I thought the writing and stories were awesome

OK
This is a medium-interest description of author Matthew Sias's assorted adventures as a paramedic/mortician. Reviewers have noted his frequent references to the many obese patients that he encounters. I have to agree that this does seem to come up frequently, but probably because of the difficulty involved in treating and/or transporting a morbidly obese person.
Narration is fine, except for Ross's seeming inability to scan ahead of the spoken word to see that the sentence he is reading continues on the next line. Repeatedly, he stops where he thinks the sentence ends, only to discover that there is more on the next line that he then treats as a new sentence.
Which then abruptly ends.
He also needs to check out the pronunciation of unfamiliar terms, e.g. atrial.

Interesting, intriguing
Very well written. Interesting stories. A few mispronunciations from the narrator, but good job, overall.

informative, serious , funny , compassionate
told with an honest first person experience , learned a lot about the way things are done that are not in the patients best interests...
I have renewed respect for first responders... especially my oldest grandson , who's training to be a flight paramedic...

Pity about the poor taste in ‘jokes’
Some of the stories are sad, others are gruesome, and I was fine with that. I’m even fine with gallows humour. What made me stop listening were jokes about old and fat people. Many died alone and probably frightened. And he wants to make jokes about giving mouth to mouth to an 70 year old woman because she has hair on her upper lip? I hope the woman’s daughter, who was present and in deep distress, never reads this book. Heroes don’t mock the people who need them.
