Title: Discuss: National Pathology Week - The Autopsy
Post by: thedoc on 18/12/2009 16:01:41
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.
