Day in the life of doctor who works with the dead

The sports bar is buzzing with the English Premier League crowd when Dr Ochieng's mobile phone rings. It's an investigation officer with the National Police Service, but before he can say more, Dr Ochieng' is ready. Reaching for the change of clothing he always carries with him when he is on call, he swaps his open shoes for a pair of sturdy shoes, and travels to where a body awaits.

Dr Ochieng', 42, is a forensic pathologist with the Ministry of Health. Forensic pathology focuses on studying the dead to determine the cause of death. This is the profession that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and later, the popular television dramas CSI and Bones.
