A look behind the scenes of the work of a medical examiner - and you will not be able to tear yourself away from the exciting, mysterious, chilling documentary stories.
The author of the book dreamed of working as a surgeon, but fate had it differently. Judy Melinek still uses a scalpel, but now her patients do not complain and do not bother her with phone calls at lunchtime. She works with cadavers. Judy Melinek shares her experience as a medical examiner in New York City. What's the most important thing about her job, you ask? Not being afraid of dead people? No, Dr. Melinek replies, the most important thing about being a medical examiner is attention to detail. And it doesn't matter who lies on her autopsy table - a drug addict who fell out of the window of a high-rise building or a pregnant girl who was the victim of a traffic accident. This book is full of naturalistic details: did you know that a smoker's lungs crunch in your hands and that the smell of freshly brewed coffee overpowers the odor of a decomposing body? True detective stories with unbelievable denouements. 2 years, 262 bodies, not one made-up word.
