South African forensic pathologist Dr Yaseen Bismilla is changing the way people view medicine, death and forensic science - one TikTok video at a time.

With thousands of followers online, Dr Bismilla has built a platform that blends forensic education, humour and honest conversations about the realities of working in one of medicine’s most emotionally demanding fields.

But behind the viral mortuary tours and relatable content is a doctor deeply passionate about justice, public education and giving a voice to victims.
