A warm welcome today to Jordan Napier Morrow, staff development lead in the School of Medicine at Dundee University. We are talking about Richard's Shepherd's brilliant book Unnatural causes which is a memoir of one of Britain's most high profile forensic pathologists. There is an enormous amount in this book to take away: stories of cases we may have heard of, cases we won't have heard of but also interwoven is Richard Shepherd's own story how he became a pathologist, the impact of being a pathologist combining pathology with family life and some of his reflections on the effect that this job and this life has had on his mental health. It's a phenomenal book and I really really enjoyed talking to Jordan about it.
