I was reading this amazing book on my iPhone and lost it. This was about a lady doctor who was appointed as a only medical officer for a village / county. She was married with a rich surgeon and took offer of this job, which all others opposed. But she did join and was doing well. She was looking after the villagers and was also looking after new diseases and also chasing the then tuberculosis. This particular incident was about an woman who died from brain tuberculosis and she wanted to check her lungs for tuberculosis. The coroner was a old man of about 70 years of age and when she ordered him to give her a lung sample, he refused to do the autopsy and was vaguely referring to a publication which was saying that doing autopsy of a person who died from tuberculosis is dangerous for him and also for the community as the tb could be airborne and dangerous for the community. She then took the legal step and ordered him through the sheriff and went to the site where autopsy was to be performed, a different place from the coroner office as the coroner did not want to do it first and then not in his office if at all. On the day this was happening, she went and was given a garden shears and she split the rib of the woman and at that point the coroner wanted to help her and did the autopsy and she was given the lung samples and she needed to carry the sample on a bucket herself to do further testing. I would be grateful if someone could help me with the name of the book or the author.
