"Pathology can stare you right in the face, but if you don't have experience or haven't read about it before, you're probably going to miss the evidence," says Ryan Blumenthal, a forensic scientist in South Africa. In his book, he explains how forensic medicine in this part of the world differs from practices in other countries and shares unique experiences. You will learn how forensic doctors sometimes work without water, electricity or even personal protective equipment, the dangers they face, and what causes the most deaths in South Africa. How the body determines the cause and time of death, why everything must always be questioned, and why the medical examiner must be prepared to examine the dead not only physically but also psychologically. Working in Africa, Blumenthal has examined thousands of deaths, strange and unbelievable, gruesome, planned and sudden, and this book is the result of his reflections on the profession and the peculiarities of forensic science on the African continent.
