Description
Working Stiff chronicles the author's two years of training as a New York City forensic pathologist, taking readers behind the scenes of death investigation and the daily life of a medical examiner.
From the gruesome to the harrowing, the author shares her experiences performing autopsies, investigating death scenes, and counseling grieving relatives, including a firsthand account of the events of September 11 and the subsequent anthrax bio-terrorism attack.
This unvarnished portrait of the daily life of medical examiners offers a glimpse into the challenges of working in one of America's most arduous professions, and the unexpected challenges of balancing the domains of the living and the dead.
