In this series, PathPod gathers pathologists Around The Scope to discuss their work in depth. Today, we hear from forensic pathologists about the diverse areas of practice within the specialty.

Dr. Croom and Dr. Taylor are forensic pathology fellows at the King County Medical Examiner's Office (Seattle) and hosts of the Dead Men Do Tell Tales Podcast (@DeadMenDo).
