Have you ever complimented someone on their skeletal structure? Of course you haven't because you're not a medical professional written for TV. This week we're dissecting Rizzoli and Isles, discussing all there is about bite mark impressions and medical terminology (and how maybe we should start using medical terms more in our everyday conversations).
