When a loved one dies in a mysterious manner, we rely on
coroners and medical examiners to tell us what happened. The stakes
are high: Coroners seek justice for the dead, exoneration for the
wrongfully accused, and closure for the families of victims. They
are always on call and work closely with law enforcement.
Author Robert S. West, who served as a physician-coroner in
rural Kootenai County, Idaho, from 1970 to 2011, delves into the
challenges he faced on the job. While he often lacked resources, he
always did the best he could to serve his community, solving
numerous mysteries using the tactics of forensic medicine.
Dr. West also explores the shortcomings of the coroner/medical
examiner system and how it can be improved. Widely varying
educational requirements and unrealistic expectations need to be
balanced in order to fill the shortage of forensic pathologists
while enhancing the training of current coroners.
Join a coroner from rural northern Idaho as he looks back at his
career's most challenging cases and explains how to reform the
system in It Can (and Does) Happen Here
