ForewordThe recent edition “An Outline of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology” written by Dr. T Rama Rao is well suited for use by the students as a ready reckoner for preparation of examinations and as a supplement to important contents from noted textbooks in Forensic Medicine and Toxicology.Modern Forensic Medicine and Toxicology is rapidly changing the details of much of the laboratory ancillary service which work in the field demands in biology, in the serological aspects of blood stain identification and paternity disputes and in particular in the field of toxicology, where the skills of the experts have been so greatly improved by the advancements in laboratory techniques. Dr. Rama Rao is aware of these new procedures and simplifies the understanding for both the student and the lawyer. New illustrations add to the effectiveness of the text.Dr. Rama Rao’s book is quite outstanding in its comprehensive qualities as a book of reference for court cases and will help to continue, no doubt to maintain the standards of practice in the law courts of India and elsewhere.-Prof. A.V. Krishnam Raju, Vice Chancellor - Dr. NTR University of Health SciencesPreface to 1st EditionAfter my earlier book with title “Practical Forensic Medicine” was well received by the students, an idea struck to me to provide a simple question and answer format book that could be useful for the already overburdened medical students. With this view and following the curriculum of Forensic Medicine recommended by the Medical Council of India, this book ‘An Outline of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology’ is prepared. Hope this will serve the purpose of all the needy students. Dr. T Rama RaoPreface to 2nd EditionThis is a condensed book and has been revised, and many topics, are also added including practical aspects, which are very much needed for undergraduate students, who are overburdened with volumenous books. Any suggestions to improve this book are welcome.Dr. T Rama Rao
