How Does Forensic Pathologist And The Clinical/general Pathologist Be Looked Into?

Answer»

I know this will put me into CONTROVERSY but I would like to put my views that FORENSIC Pathology is beyond the limits of General Pathologist, who studies organs retrieved from the Living body and their findings can be peer revived by another pathologist.Where as The forensic Pathologist is RARELY peer revived UNLESS a wealthy criminal defendant handles the Case. Forensic Pathology is not just Microscopic STUDY of organs it is a whole lot of experience with the dead/crime, which no literature in the world can substitute.
