two years, 262 bodies, and the making of a medical examiner
The memoir of a young forensic pathologist's "rookie season" as a NYC medical examiner, and the cases--hair-raising, heartbreaking, and impossibly complex--that shaped her as both a physician and a mother. Working Stiff takes readers behind the police tape of some of the most harrowing deaths in the Big Apple, including a firsthand account of the events of September 11, the subsequent anthrax bio-terrorism attack, and the disastrous crash of American Airlines flight 587.
