Overview
In this talk, we will take a look at some of the famous characters from history (including the royal family, politicians and physicians) who have undergone an autopsy and discover what was found to be their cause of death.
We will also explore some of the advances in medicine that have come from the work of these pathologists, and how practices have advanced towards the modern approaches that are changing our specialty today.
