Autopsy: Life In The Trenches With A Forensic Pathologist In Africa by Ryan Blumenthal
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Jonathan Ball Publishing for the digital ARC.
I thought this book was fascinating! I have a background in laboratory science which helped me get a better understanding of the cases presented, but the book is written in a way that a background in health or laboratory science is not necessary. If you have any interest at all in forensic pathology or what goes on behind the scenes in a hospital, I would highly recommend reading this book. The cases that he presents deal with death due to unnatural causes which can mean any number of things. Dr. Ryan Blumenthal explains the anatomy and physiology, but also all of the other science, math and deduction involved in finding the cause of death. This book is truly insightful!
