Forensic medicine is a fascinating field, but one that is often shielded from the public. Most people know nothing about it other than what they see on television. This book gives the reader a real insider's perspective on this very unique and sometimes mysterious profession.By Heidi Salter
As a lawyer, I often work with medical examiners on legal issues. However, I knew very little of the development of their field or their craft. I found this book very informative and surprisingly entertaining.
Dr. Jentzen went one step further - he made me realize what an extremely humane profession forensic medicine really is.
There is no other book that directly deals with the history of medicolegal death investigation, including both coroners and medical examiners, in the United States. Dr. Jentzen is to be commended for his insightful and comprehensive study. It is exceptionally meaningful to those of us in the field. For those outside, it may be somewhat dry and arcane. It does document the struggle our society has in overcoming basic tradition to bring to bear appropriate scientific and medical professional expertise to death investigation.By Victor Weedn
