  1. forensic pathologists are specially trained physicians whose job is to
  2. perform autopsies to examine the bodies of those that died
  3. unexpectedly or violently.
  4. One of the things I love about forensic pathology is
  5. that it requires one to no more than just typical
  6. medicine. Forensic pathologists are also trained in areas of forensic
  7. science. This would include toxicology, trace evidence, examination, DNA analysis,
  8. serology, et cetera.
  9. The thing that fascinates me about forensic pathology is just
  10. how much you can learn about what happened to someone
  11. from their body.
  12. The body leaves behind clues as to what happened to
  13. it after it dies, and these clues are found during
  14. an autopsy.
  15. An autopsy starts with the examination of the body, and
  16. during this examination of pathologists will look for bruising and
  17. external injuries, and they will check the hair and the
  18. nails of someone to collect samples from within.
