Reviews
From the reviews:
"Dr. Adams … describes how an autopsy report should be organized, what should be included and excluded, how to describe the external and internal examinations, including the proper way to describe wounds and disease states of individual organs, and how to formulate opinions. … This book would logically seem to be intended for the beginning pathologist, pathology resident or medical student, but should also be included in the library of any autopsy pathologist as a valuable reference." (Douglas Posey, Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology, December, 2008)
"This concise manual describes how to write autopsy reports, including how to describe disease and injury, form opinions, and communicate effectively with families and physicians. … practicing autopsy pathologists and forensic pathologists also will find this an excellent reference to have on hand. … This is a very useful book for any pathologist performing autopsies … especially for pathologists in training who are just learning how to report autopsy findings." (Katie L. Dennis, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2009)
