Product Description

Product Description
This book aims to inform public opinion by giving eminent pathologists an opportunity to talk about themselves and what they do. It explores some of the philosophical, ethical and practical issues facing the profession today. Pathologists are disease specialists - some are experts in diseases of the tissues, the brain or blood, others in diseases caused by bacteria and viruses; only a small proportion are experts in forensic science. The pathologist's job is mainly to identify, from specimens sent to the lab from wards, clinics and operating theatres, exactly what a patient is suffering from and what treatment he or she is likely to respond to. Post mortems are a very small, though vital, part of the pathologist's job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Science writing for the layperson at its best, 6 Nov 2008
By Stuart Adams (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is science writing for the layperson at its best. You could describe its author as the Agatha Christie of science writers. She gives you mysterious illnesses, injuries and deaths and puzzling clues and she gives you fourteen Miss Marples, each with intriguing background and charming eccentricities, and they take you along as they figure out who done it. "A Matter of Life and Death" is a page turner and, as an added bonus, after having had all that fun you find that you have learned a whole lot about areas of medical science about which you may have known nothing whatever before, not even that such areas of medical science existed. What Southern gothic mystery writer could have conjured up a forensic anthropologist with his very own body farm in Tennessee?
