5.0 out of 5 stars A World I've Never Seen, September 28, 2000

This review is from: Autopsy: Through The Eyes of Death's Detectives [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Unlike the last reviewer, I am not in the forenics field. I'm an average Joe (or JoAnne, being a woman), and I couldn't disagree with the last reviewer more. I know nothing about pathologists except for what I've read in novels and seen in movies and I must say that this video did shatter the myths. I found it fascinating to peer into the lives of people who would choose working with the the dead as a profession. Also, the autopsy sequences were amazing and moving. Sure, it's not wall-to-wall autopsy (go buy a "Faces of Death" video if that's what you want)but there's plenty of "shocking" footage. I feel that this video was not meant so much as a teaching tool (or a how-to-do-an-autopsy-guide)but more as an enlightening and revealing look at a seldom seen - and very important - medical procedure. To be honest, this video is not for the squeamish. I've seen images here that I'll not soon forget. It showed me that the human body is also beautiful on the inside - - and that the people who work as coroners and pathologists should be respected not ridiculed. This is one great documentary. 2 thumbs up.

1.0 out of 5 stars The private lives of pathologists, August 19, 2000

I teach forensic science and grave excavation. I was hoping this tape would take me and the students into a morgue "setting" when we couldn't actually go. I liked the first 15 minutes of the tape, because it actually had to do with autopsy...but why did you have to do a background on the medical examiner's. We work in this environment too. We can't possibly think the public thinks so small that they wouldn't think M.E., police officers, etc. have no life but in the lab/morgue/streets? Do they? Anyway, I hoped the tape had more autopsy material, but it didn't.

Personnally, I thought it could of been in more detail. There were alot of discussions with Doctors, so I was disappointed in the video. I'm not certain as to what I really expected, but I didn't think it was going to be as much talking as there was.
