One of my degrees is in law enforcement and I've always been fascinated by the forensics side. I recently watched a show on Science Channel that talked about how horribly forensics was represented in books and TV. I've researched all sorts of weird things over the years. Recently it's been 1940s mansions and cannibalism.

In fact, crime fiction of ANY kind assumes that you can solve a murder in a short time!<br /><br />I know of at least one web site, a blog, that answers medical questions for writers, by Jordyn Redwood, who is an ER nurse herself and writes as well. I'm betting there are more.
