01 Purpose (Autopsy - A Screenwriter's Guide)

The purpose of this paper is to make available to
screenwriters, novelists, and other interested individuals

postmortem examination (autopsy) as performed by a
pathologist on a patient who has died in hospital. I have
based this on my experiences as a practicing pathologist in
both academic and community practice settings in several

unbiased language of my profession to present a more
subjective, sensorial view, which I think should be of
greater benefit to those using this information for the
purposes of entertainment.
