Crime fiction is one of the most popular genres, with medical crime fiction occupying significant space on the bookshelves of devoted readers. True crime stories are also popular; but while we may enjoy reading them, we may not think of what it’s like to be at the heart of an investigation.

Here to open that door is Jenelle Lea, a highly experienced forensic nurse who is deeply committed to help justice prevail. She and our host Pat Iyer will share some fascinating stories about crime as it interfaces with investigative nursing.

It’s important to be aware that there are many variants in the medical-criminal world. When we think of crime, we may most often think of spousal or child abuse. It’s important, especially if you have elder parents, to know that senior abuse is a serious issue also.

Jenelle explains how important it is not to be swayed by the obvious. Does the woman who has what appear to be cigarette burns on her arms suffer spousal abuse, or has something else caused these wounds?

She also emphasizes that it’s all too easy to focus on the most obvious clue. Keeping your mind open to all possibilities is crucial for a forensic nurse.

If you feel inspired to explore the aera further, this is a good opening point. And if you are simply interested in some fascinating forensic tales, you’ve come to the right place.
