I love my career. It’s intellectually challenging, rewarding, and it can constantly surprise me. There simply isn’t such a thing as a typical day in forensic pathology. It can range from standing in a ditch collecting maggots to standing in Crown Court giving expert evidence – sometimes on the same day.
