Silent Siren: Memoirs of a Life-saving Mortician
Sep 22, Whistlers Mom rated it really liked it. A paramedic has lots of fascinating experiences. So does a mortician. A guy who's served in both capacities is a treasure trove of stories - tragic, funny, and sometimes just plain odd.

I know that his accounts of removing badly decomposed bodies from homes and apartments reminded me that a retiree who lives alone needs to have some sort of daily check system in place. I now e-mail my sister at the same time every day. If she doesn't hear from me and can't reach me by phone, she will contact a neighbor to check on me. It might save my life. At very least it will make things a bit more pleasant for the emergency workers who have to deal with my body and relieve my family of worrying that I had a long, painful death.
