forensic medicine

Forensic medicine is a specialized field that applies medical knowledge to legal issues. It involves examining live patients or investigating bodies to determine cause and manner of death, identify injuries, or gather evidence for criminal cases. Forensic physicians may conduct autopsies, analyze trauma, or assess medical histories to help solve crimes or clarify legal matters. The goal is to provide objective, scientific insights that assist law enforcement and the justice system in understanding incidents and ensuring proper legal procedures are followed.
