National Pathology WeekThe Naked Scientists: Science Radio & Science Podcasts |
In the final National Pathology Week podcast, we address the ultimate surgical operation - the Autopsy, or Post Mortem. Dr Suzy Lishman and Dr Alison Cluroe shed light on the often misunderstood operation that not only tells us how a person died, but provides vital information to help the living. We get the chance to guess what different autopsy tools are used for (and spot the kitchen-based red herring!), and go through the process of a genuine post mortem. This is a fascinating and unique view behind closed doors, and not for the faint of heart.

Self medical testing is a controvercial topic - some believe we should be free to monitor our own health, while others are concerned about the risks of inaccurate results and the strain that this can put on the NHS. The Royal College of Pathologists assembled a panel of experts from medicine and industry to ask the question - is self-testing safe? In this podcast, we examine the issues so you can make an informed decision.
