I’m pretty sure forensic science is a health science profession... but
1. Accurately represent his/her education, training, experience, and areas of expertise.
2. Pursue professional competency through training, proficiency testing, certification, and presentation and publication of research findings.
3. Commit to continuous learning in the forensic disciplines and stay abreast of new findings, equipment and techniques.
4. Promote validation and incorporation of new technologies, guarding against the use of non-valid methods in casework and the misapplication of validated methods.
5. Avoid tampering, adulteration, loss, or unnecessary consumption of evidentiary materials.
6. Avoid participation in any case where there are personal, financial, employment-related or other conflicts of interest.
7. Conduct full, fair and unbiased examinations, leading to independent, impartial, and objective opinions and conclusions.

12. Do not alter reports or other records, or withhold information from reports for strategic or tactical litigation advantage.
13. Present accurate and complete data in reports, oral and written presentations and testimony based on good scientific practices and validated methods.
14. Communicate honestly and fully, once a report is issued, with all parties (investigators, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and other expert witnesses), unless prohibited by law.
15. Document and notify management or quality assurance personnel of adverse events, such as an unintended mistake or a breach of ethical, legal, scientific standards, or questionable conduct.
16. Ensure reporting, through proper management channels, to all impacted scientific and legal parties of any adverse event that affects a previously issued report or testimony.

Anestesiologists currrently make about 350 000 per year in most places but they work a LOT of hours and take a LOT of call and work a LOT of weekends and holidays.
The term "abortion" refers to the termination of a pregnancy before to 20 weeks of gestation. A threatening, inevitable, incomplete, full, septic, or missed abortion is one of the various forms of spontaneous abortion.
A threatened abortion is described by vaginal bleeding before 20 weeks of gestation in the presence of a positive urine and/or blood pregnancy test with a closed cervical os, without passage of sperm or eggs, and without signs of fetal or embryonic death.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a threatened abortion as open bleeding or pregnancy-related bloody vaginal discharge that occurs during the first half of the pregnancy without cervical dilatation.
