- Are medical drugs good and poisons bad? Or are they one and the same?
- How are poisons delivered to avoid detection?
- How do a medical examiner and a toxicologist determine if a poison is involved in a suspicious death?
- Did a poison or drug cause or contribute to the death? Is it always clear?
- What are some common poisons, and how do they work?
