“More frequent clinical autopsies can help us to view death not as the end of medical care, but as a final opportunity for learning – in the interests of future patients and a learning medical profession. However, we must not allow knowledge about clinical autopsies to be lost.”
Saskia von Stillfried from the Institute of Pathology at UK Aachen gave an interview on the topic of “clinical autopsies” for the DGP’s 14th monthly feature. Alongside fascinating facts and figures on the development of the National Autopsy Registry and the successful collaboration between the disciplines of pathology, neuropathology and legal medicine, the deputy head of the autopsy registry discusses the relevance of autopsies in the modern world as well as the current state of affairs in the German autopsy landscape.
