“Pathology can stare you in the face, but if you have no experience or have not read about it before, then you are probably missing the clue,” says Ryan Blumenthal, a South African forensic pathologist. In his book, he tells how forensic medicine in this part of the world differs from practice in other countries, and shares his unique experience. You will learn how forensic scientists sometimes work without water, electricity and even personal protective equipment, what dangers they are exposed to and what most often causes death of people living 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. While working in Africa, Blumenthal has researched thousands of deaths, strange and unbelievable, horrific, planned and sudden, and this book is the result of his reflections on the profession and characteristics of forensic science on the African continent.
