I don't know guys the blinding stew thing seems a lot like the Juice that Makes You Explode meme.
I'm going to sit this one out.
At least until Sonic gets involved.

And do you know what else. i swear i won't speak for a minute after this but do you know what drives me crazy. the fact that, if you don't attend the autopsy, the baron's head wound gets overlooked and disappears from the narrative altogether. the story becomes: the baron was stabbed. you can't point out potential blunt weapons and every time you suspect someone you can only think, "were they strong enough to turn a knife on him?"
i understand it completely on a gameplay level. you get told in so many words to definitely go to this time-sensitive event, so if you manage to still sit it out, you have to suffer the consequences. fine.
on a narrative level, though, how is it possible that between the two of them, florian (who finds the head wound independently if you attend the autopsy) and stolz (a university-trained doctor, as he's very, very fond of saying) can only infer that an inch-deep, awkwardly angled stab wound was the cause of death?
if you do something else during the examination, you later get a note from florian to say that he held off as long as he could, but in the end the examination was "a bit rushed" and he "had no choice but to conclude" that the stab wound was what killed the baron.
i feel like one of two things has to have happened here. 1) florian successfully stalled the autopsy for so long that lady salomea arrived and there was literally no time to do anything but glance at the obvious injury and go "yep, checks out, i guess".
or 2) (and bear with me here): florian managed to stall only for a brief while—he waved off the doctor and told him to fetch the abbot first; stolz and gernot come back; florian is still reluctant to start without andreas; stolz's very short fuse burns out and he petitions the abbot to let him do the examination on his own; and for whatever reason, stolz bungles it. he's either not willing to get his hands dirty or not willing to look further than the (apparently) obvious injury, so he overlooks the head wound and the syphilitic sore and anything else that might be pertinent.
the reason i'm entertaining option 2) at all is mostly because of two particular pieces of dialogue in act II. you sit down for dinner with baltas and the doctor and needle him for details about otto's autopsy, and he steadfastly refuses to breathe a word about it. however:
- if andreas studied medicine, you can mention reading a book by benivieni (an italian physician who made strides by performing numerous dissections) and ask stolz's opinion. he answers that "[benivieni] is far too specialized for my practice. there's hardly a reason any man should be so interested in the anatomy of the dead."
- also w/ the medicine background, you can try and get the gory details from him by saying that you both must have seen your share of dissections in your time at university (therefore it's nbd). stolz answers, "ah, you see, my education was more...theory...than hands-on practice. a reputable institution keeping things clean, you know..."
so doctor stolz, imo, is one of the easiest characters to read based on cues in his dialogue. you can tell in an instant when you've pissed him off or caught him off-guard. additionally, the player will know firsthand that stolz never passes up a chance to show someone up with his superior intellect (calling florian a "battlefield sawbones", or—just try to ask him for help with ferenc's cipher. eesh.)
for those reasons, this particular line strikes me as bizarrely, uncharacteristically tentative: to start with 'ah, you see', to pause before and after the word 'theory', to trail off "you know...".
and fair's fair, it is possible to read this as a savvy lie to get andreas to stop pressing for details, but frankly there's no evidence that stolz has the people skills for that (to intentionally adjust his tone), nor does it seem likely he'd consciously embarrass himself (by admitting that andreas has any sort of advantage on him), even if it was convenient.
so if we take it on faith that he's telling an uncomfortable truth, that his vaunted university education was actually based in theory, and that he has very little—if any—hands-on experience by the time he's made it to tassing, then it's not a huge leap to wonder how qualified he actually was for the two autopsies he's meant to have performed. rothvogel and otto both seemed to have a simple, readily apparent cause of death: it would be easy to take a quick look and confirm the obvious.
florian specifically decides the baron's stab wound wasn't the cause of death because it couldn't have "[issued] forth all that blood we found him in". but if, as the doctor presiding over the autopsy, you hadn't seen enough people bleed to intuit how much blood ought to come out of a stab wound of that depth and in that location, you might not think to keep looking—you might assume it was open and shut, knife killed him, done.
at least in act I the townsfolk pretty unanimously dislike stolz; most of the criticism comes down to his apparent aloofness (agnes says he refuses to step up to help any of the women in town and refers to his "clammy attentions". his journal entry even mentions he's "known for his unpleasant manner".) the only person with a good word to say about him is grett, who tells you in confidence that he's prescribed her a fantastic salve for hemorrhoids. which is interesting, because that's definitely information you can get by memorizing pharmaceutical texts. so it's easy to conclude that he has a solid basis in theory, but falls short when it comes to the human element, things that can only be learned through experience (and not without a measure of humility).
it's also possible that this is what initially kept him from moving to innsbruck and starting a practice there: maybe he intended to (discreetly) cut his teeth practicing in tassing before striking out for an imperial city. but he's so concerned that someone might discover his shortcomings that he turtles up and gets pompous, which leads the townsfolk to avoid him, which keeps him from gaining that practical knowledge, and now it's a feedback loop of bruised egos and failure. sad.
