Description
Pathology is a medical specialty that determines the cause and nature of diseases by examining and testing body tissues (from biopsies and pap smears to surgical specimens and autopsy) and bodily fluids (including blood and urine). Forensic pathology is the application of medical/pathology knowledge to problem solving in the field of law. Forensic pathologist, Angelina Phillips, MD,will guide this exploration of the medical examiner.session by providing a brief description of the field of pathology and the sub-specialty of forensic pathology. In addition to reviewing some interesting autopsy cases/findings, we will also answer the following questions: 1. Who is the forensic pathologist? 2. What is the difference between a coroner and a medical examiner? 3. How does one become a medical examiner? 4. What is an autopsy? How and why are they performed?
