Forensic medical expert Alexey Reshetun (better known as LJ blogger mossudmed) is familiar with death firsthand. He has been dealing with it every working day for 17 years now: in fact, its causes are the object of his study. This means that he knows better than anyone else why we die and what not to do in order not to end up on the dissecting table before the time comes. Readers of his blog quickly quit smoking, drinking and start playing sports. Although he does not read morals at all: he simply shows how everything will end if you continue in the same spirit. His book is in no way a scientific work or a textbook. It is intended primarily for people who are infinitely far from medicine, so you will not find complex terms in it. But you will learn how a forensic expert works, how he differs from a pathologist, how he conducts an autopsy, where he puts the removed organs, and what amazing stories his every working day is filled with. By talking about what we often don’t want to delve into, the author makes us rethink the old truth: our life - and death - depends on ourselves. Updated and expanded edition.
