Presented by Sally Warmington
The emphasis in modern medical schools on the teaching of communication skills reflects a widespread acknowledgement that effective communication is vital for good clinical practice. Yet despite this, many doctors still interact with patients in a detached manner which suggests a lack of care and concern. Is this problem simply the result of a lack of time, or does it indicate a reluctance to engage with patients in a meaningful way?

Dead bodies are in vogue. Dissected corpses litter our television screens and crime books. Yet in Western hospitals the autopsy is almost extinct, and opinions about the usefulness of the modern autopsy remain sharply divided. How can this be? Why has the autopsy become so unpopular in modern medicine? Does it still have a role to play in scrutinising death? And should the public be invited to join the debate about its future?
