Summary of Judy Melinek, M.D. & T.J. Mitchell's Working Stiff

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The carpenter was sitting on a sidewalk in Midtown Manhattan with his buddies, half a dozen subcontractors in hard hats sipping their coffees before the morning shift got started. The crane fell directly across a busy intersection and the police shut it down, snarling traffic in all directions.

#2 The author was a medical student when she was assigned to autopsies. She found that most unexpected deaths were either the result of something dangerously mundane, or of something predictably hazardous.

#3 I did not want to be a forensic pathologist when I started out, but I was forced into the field due to my father’s suicide. I have come to love life and celebrate it, which has led me to a career in autopsies.

#4 I was a surgeon trainee in Boston, and I was constantly exhausted. I would often work 36-hour shifts, and on one occasion, I was wheeled to the emergency room after fainting on the job. My boss told me that I was just tired, and that I should go home and sleep.
