When I stumbled onto this show, I was afraid it would be too gory for me, as I don't handle blood and guts at all.

But they pixel all that out. They leave you with the facts and it's really interesting, how Dr G figures out not just what killed people, but why. She totally rocks.



Too bad ya can't find docs that care as much while you're still breathing.



My fave episode was not about an autopsy, but where CPS took a couple's kids because one - an infant - had a fractured skull. The doc who examined him at the ER said he thought there were 2 injuries, and that he had been abused.

But really, because he was so young when he bumped his head, his soft skull had flexed and made two dents. People had seen the child when his mom came to work, he was not crying and his head looked fine (he didn't have much hair, so any bruises or swelling would have shown).

Mom handed him to a babysitter, and a little later, everyone heard him scream. Then is when she saw the area start to turn red and they took him to the ER to be checked out. He had probably just fallen out of his child carrier seat while in the baby sitter's care.

But CPS had removed the kids from them, citing abuse. It was heartbreaking. Dr G went over all the reports and records from the hospital. Her testimony at court helped them get their kids back.
