About this listen

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.

This book was fascinating, the material easy to understand and gives a glimps into a world many of us are unaware of. I was sad when I reached the end. The writer is knowledgeable and very human. I loved the book.

I wanted to learn more about this subject I thought this would be a good start. although this was in South Africa I think it painted a wonderful overall picture of what a medical examiner does, painting pictures and describing smells I could almost see and smell myself.
I would recommend this, it is educational, philosophical and in the end reminds us to be better people.

just fantastic!

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.
