All of these are from the late January/February/March issues and electronic previews. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that [...]

I promised I would come back with a piece on using ALS to identify and photograph injury not obvious or visible to the naked eye. Coincidentally I’ve been asked for some predicate questions by a [...]

January 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment
I had an email yesterday about finding CEUs for forensic nurses, which made me think that it’s probably a good time to remind people about the free CEUs available online from IAFN. If you haven’t yet checked them, I encourage you to do so, because, did I mention they’re free (unless you’re not a member, [...]

The Choking Game
December 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment
ABC News is running an article on their site about the choking game, which is a popular search term on this site. The article doesn’t break any new ground, but it does a decent job of providing an overview to the lay public. What I liked about the article, though, was the mention of an [...]

Clinical Guide: Strangulation and DV
August 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment
This summer, over at the DOVE program, where I still maintain a clinical practice (albeit a sporadic one), we’ve been working on some strangulation research. With a pretty sizeable number of cases in our domestic violence program available for review, we were blessed to have a fantastic young woman (and future physician) named Michelle join [...]

The Choking Game, Part II
February 2, 2009 | 1 Comment
Because my last post on the Choking Game was one of the most visited posts yet, I have added a second post on the subject. This is a video made by the folks at GASP. It’s less than 15 minutes and was created for teens and educators (I assume). However, I think there’s great information [...]
