The second edition of this highly regarded textbook represents a practical but thoughtful account of how to perform all aspects of the autopsy.
The text draws upon the basic and advanced autopsy courses run at Sheffield University that are patronised by trainees and senior pathologists from around the world. Illustrated with a range of line drawings, black and white and colour photographs, and with contributions from a range of specialists this is the comprehensive guide that all pathologists, especially those in training will want to refer to for the latest information on technique, forensic validity, infection control, and audit.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
We are pleased to note a section on audit of the autopsy itself, which is going to become more important as consumers demand a better and more standardized product from the ultimate pathology test. This book is a positive contribution to this process and should be in all training departments in the country.
Association of Clinical Pathologists
This second edition of The Hospital Autopsy is greatly needed, at a time when many junior pathologists are struggling to gain adequate autopsy teaching and experience. It is very difficult to criticise...there is no better recommendation.
The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists
An extremely popular book amongst trainee pathologists. Although the target audience for this volume is pathologists in training, there is much of interest for medical students. I would definitely recommend this book to my fellow students as a very worthwhile read.
