Hi everyone,
There has been a great deal of unrest the past few weeks here in the USA with rising case numbers of coronavirus in select states and protester-police clashes resulting in violence and destruction... despite all this, the summer is kicking off with blossoms and nature's bounty all around us.
I thought I'd share a few resources I've come across, and review a few books which I had time to read recently.
Resources:
MGH Learn Pathology has curated virtual slide sets
Johns Hopkins Pathology many resources here
Book reviews:
Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink
- The book chronicles the events surrounding Hurricane Katrina at Ochsner Baptist Medical Center (then known as Memorial Medical Center) in 2005. Thoughts: Similar strains to the pandemic we are experiencing now, with extreme (and I would argue unethical) "care rationing" taking place. Superb investigative journalism.
Forensic Detective: How I Cracked the World's Toughest Cases by Robert Mann
- Forensic anthropologist recalls fascinating cases which traverse time and continents from Hawaii to Vietnam and back. Advances in forensic science help identify unknown remains (mitochondrial DNA).
Currently reading:
No Stone Unturned by Steve Jackson
Details NecroSearch's attempts to find human remains and assist with cold cases.
What is on your summer reading list?
