"Forensic medicine encompasses all areas in which medicine and law interact, i.e. the diverse aspects of forensic medicine include forensic pathology, traumatology and violent death, sudden and unexpected death, clinical forensic medicine, toxicology, traffic medicine, identification, haemogenetics and medical law. A knowledge of all the subdisciplines of forensic medicine is required in daily routine casework since all the results obtained by different medical and scientific methods have to be integrated into one comprehensive reconstruction of events for any particular case"-- Provided by publisher.
