Kiwi Tales #14: Cynric Temple-Camp - Pathologist. Stories of the Dead.

Cynric Temple-Camp has been a Pathologist at Palmerston North Hospital for nearly 40 years. In that time he has performed countless autopsies on murder victims, accident victims, unexplained deaths and many others, and has studied multitudes of viruses and diseases. He has documented many of these cases in his three published books - The Cause of Death, The Quick and the Dead, and the Final Diagnosis, and has a knack of bringing people's stories to life in an almost poetic manner. At the end of this interview is footage of a tour of the Pathology departments at Palmerston North Hospital kindy provided to me by Cynric. PLEASE "LIKE" AND "SUBSCRIBE" IF YOU ENJOYED THIS VIDEO.
