Lawy doctor Michael Tsokos leaves diplomatic bomb

The prominent forensic doctor Michael Tsokos recently gave an revealing interview in which he spoke about his career. Tsokos, who is considering teaching in Hungary, emphasized the differences between forensic medicine and pathology. His path to forensic medicine began after a medical test that gave him access to study. Tsokos also expressed criticism of the German medical study system, which has high entry barriers.

since 2007 Tsokos has headed the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Berlin Charité, but at the end of 2023 he gave up this position. In his opinion, he justified this decision that medicine should never be political. He emphasized that the Charité was too politicized in his eyes and no longer corresponds to the principles of independent university medicine.

tsokos also emphasized the importance of teaching in forensic medicine and regretted that student training suffered particularly from the current political atmosphere during the Corona period. The Charité has become an anonymous large company that was very fiscal.

Tsoko's progress mentioned in relation to improvements in forensic medicine such as hair analysis and virtual autopsy using computer tomography. His work stretched over thousands of sections and autopsy, whereby he also went into spectacular cases that have shaped him.

On the subject of rotten corpses in Berlin apartments, Tsokos was concerned about anonymity and lonely dying in big cities. He revealed that around 12 to 15 rotten corpses in Berlin were found in apartments every week - a dark picture that makes the reality of urban life clear.
