Nothing like you'd expect, actually .\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichelle Williams is young and attractive, she has close family ties as well as a busy social life - but she is far from usual. She is a mortuary technician and her job involves dealing with those things in life that many people do not wish to experience directly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet life in the mortuary is neither gruesome nor sad. Told with good humour and common sense, we are introduced to a host of characters - the pathologists, many of them eccentric, some downright mad; the undertakers, the hospital porters and the man from the coroner's office who sings to Michelle every morning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe incidents too ensure that no two days are ever the same. From the tragic to the hilarious they include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fitness fanatic who was run over as he did pressups in the road on a dark night\u003cbr\u003eThe decapitated motorcyclist\u003cbr\u003eThe guide dog who led his owner on to the railway tracks - and left him there\u003cbr\u003eThe forty stone man for whom an entire refrigerated lorry had to be hired because he wouldn't fit in the mortuary cooler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the course of her first year Michelle has to deal with situations and emotions that few of us will ever experience, and does so while retaining a sense of humour and a sense of perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56450793767286,"sku":"9781849010290","price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28337726.jpg?v=1760453979","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781849010290-down-among-the-dead-men","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
