Forensic Medicine: Death, Injury, and Integrity

A comprehensive mixed mock drawing 5 questions from each of the two easy Forensic Medicine mocks, 10 from the medium mock, and 10 from the hard mock — providing a full cross-level challenge spanning core vocabulary, applied casework, and professional ethics. The 5 questions from Easy Mock 1 (Foundations) cover: strangulation types, rigor mortis PMI and sequence, manner of death classification, hanging definition, and abrasion features. The 5 questions from Easy Mock 2 (Burns, Head Injuries, Identity) cover: second-degree burn classification, dying declaration under Section 26 BSA 2023, extradural haemorrhage features, infanticide under Section 101 BNS 2023, and spermatozoa survival times. The 10 medium questions cover: distinguishing staged hanging from strangulation by ligature mark, SIDS diagnosis of exclusion, organophosphate autopsy findings, CO-Hb 38% clinical interpretation, delayed sexual assault examination at 96 hours, manner of death opinion vs court determination, post-mortem burns (absent soot + CO-Hb), Rule of Thumb PMI calculation, organophosphate cause vs manner, and POCSO age estimation protocol. The 10 hard questions cover: post-mortem alcohol in decomposed body, thin skull rule with cardiac disease, re-autopsy hyoid fracture assessment, COPD petechiae qualified interpretation, post-conviction disclosure obligation, fire death with competing SDH and CO-Hb, prosecution pressure for false PMI precision, FMO pressured to amend rape report, railway death post-mortem placement indicators, and confirmation bias from self-harm history.
