Autopsy: Life In The Trenches With A Forensic Pathologist In Africa by Ryan Blumenthal

dark informative slow-paced

0.5

HATED this book. The author's arrogance and judgemental attitude really shines through in the writing. He berates patients for lifestyle related pathologies and treads into an ethically grey area when he guilts a group of young survivors into reliving their trauma after they initially refused, all so he could get published in a medical journal. I found him utterly insufferable. He comes across as condescending to the reader with his explanations of technical terms. The book lacks cohesion and reads like jumbled thoughts he just jotted down on scraps of paper. Where the hell was his editor? He also seems to lack self awareness in the last chapter of the book, where he states doctor should not judge their patients?🤔
