It takes a rare special person to be able to do what needs to be done after someone passes. I know I couldn't handle it and have tremendous respect for those who can. Additionally, to seem be able to find that balance of clinical facts about each case and be compassionate about each person and their family members is exceptionally rare. Then to have the confidence, bravery and will to fight for what's right and be able to articulate it so well was just a special find. Dr. G is just now on my radar as my youngest is now in college. As I enter semi retired life and find out she has retired, I can only hope she has inspired many others to follow her example. Those of us who cannot reconcile the passing of those close to us and entrust our loved ones to local MEs can only hope.
Initially, I couldn't watch this show due to the graphic nature and heavy topic. But as I watched a few more, it became almost an educational show for me. It's fascinating to realize just how fragile life is and the simple ways lack of health or exposure to accidents, assaults, or toxins can change the trajectory of life on a dime.
Dr. G is one of those one-in-a-million people who works in a niche industry and has the ability to relate her findings in a way that is articulate and personable. I have to wonder whose idea it was to produce such a show and imagine NCIS's Ducky may have had some influence. Her high-pitched vocalizing isn't always easy on the ears but in many ways she feels like someone we might know and trust.
They drag it out quite a bit as most reality shows do - could it be this; could it be that; who is to blame... But most times the answer is a surprise to the viewer.
I'll glad they don't actually show the dead bodies and autopsies, that would be too graphic. The reenactments are sufficiently difficult to watch. As well, there are laws against showing dead bodies on tv and to get permission would mean going through a lengthy process per autopsy.
But for those saying the family photos are actors - you're wrong about that. In the show itself, there is a tag when it's a reenactment that says Dramatization. Everything else is actual.
Not all MEs are responsive. When my mother died of cancer, the COD said the cause was complications of a pelvic fracture with secondary cause being cancer. This puzzled me for years and I never got a response from the very young ME. I've read that cancer deaths are hidden under secondary causes, which I still believe and believe that's what happened to my mother. But in one episode where Dr. G explains how elderly who break hips can have a series of events from it, I was able to understand why the rookie ME put that as COD. However, my mother was ravaged by late stage pancreatic cancer (or more specifically, theradiation destryed her insides) and had just days to live when she created an unexpected situation for herself by trying to walk over to adjust a small heater. She slipped in her socks and fractured her pelvis. While the hospice nurse called the emergency doctor, my mother called a neighbor for sympathy who misunderstood and thought she was home alone and needed help. They called 911 and the police were the1st responders who thought she was immaciated from neglect and rushed her to the hospital where they treated her only for the fracture. By the time we got her back, she lived for only 3 more hours. We had just gotten her back from a hospice facilty so she could die at home - her request - when this happened. It made me understand fully why some families opt to not have medical personnel involved at all when they know they have a fatal illness.
Any hoo, I've learned a lot from Dr G and find it one of the most unique shows ever. She humanizes the process.

I decided to revisit this show on tubi. Theres 8 seasons, so theres plenty to re-watch. Love all this medical stuff. I love her quirkiness and how casual she explains some of the ways people have died and she actually gets excited about some things while she's explaining. Its kinda ghoulish. My kinda gal. I wish they'd show the actual autopsy. It be very interesting. Sad thing is, a lot of the deaths she examines can be avoided/prevented. Especially when its a child death. Now that is sad. Thats one thing that would prevent me from doing her job-autopsying a child. Grandfather was a fireman. He told me of some sad things while responding to calls.
This is less a show of like 'Cops' where things are recorded in real time, but more like 'Forensic Files' where the events happened in the past but are reenacted. Actors play the deceased with make-up applied to show the wounds. The actors also reenact the days and minutes leading up to the time of death. The autopsy shows nothing. Everything is so blurred out that she could be holding a sandwich instead of an extracted heart. Dr. G describes what she sees, or saw. You never see her cut into the patient, she imitates cracking open the ribs but the ribs are never shown, the skull is supposedly sawed open but you don't see it. The only real thing is blood being put into lab tubes and microscope slides. This is possibly the least graphic show about autopsies out there.
But that's OK.
Dr. G is an good teacher and curious personality. The way she and her team figure out each case is interesting. The computer graphics and photos are very helpful in understanding things like blood clots, cardiac tamponade, strokes, and unusual diseases and conditions. If you were a medical student she'd be a good teacher. Her conclusions sometimes are helpful toward those who are still living.
It would be educational and interesting if there was a show with real autopsies in order to learn more about anatomy and physiology.

This show keeps me entertained and also helps to increase my understanding of the body and things that can lead to a person's death. Very educational and helpful.
