Publisher Description
Death is a certainty, but what happens in the lead-up - and in its aftermath - is anything but
predictable.
Nobody knows this better than those who work with death every day. There's no time for an
existential crisis when your 9-to-5 involves responding to fatal plane accidents, transporting organs
for urgent surgery, or fending off a dying man's request for Nickelback.
In this book, bestselling author and paramedic Tim Booth reveals the darkly funny, often absurd, and
sometimes horrifying realities of the professionals most people hope never to meet, including:
- crime scene cleaners
- organ procurement coordinators
- gravediggers
- combat medics
- emergency nurses
and so many more.
Blending laugh-out-loud humour with unflinching moments of poignancy, Post-Mortem tells the
stories of the people who face daily life's final chapter - so we don't have to.
Customer Reviews
Post mortem
After recently facing death myself I became hyper aware of it to the point I was thinking about going to a psychiatrist. Tim Booth’s book has helped me enormously. His style of writing & the stories contained within this book have helped me more than I can describe. If you want a damn good read, this is the book for you.
