Introduction to the School of Medicine:
After the Shroud was photographed for the first time in 1898 and its now famous negative image was discovered, the first to examine the Shroud from a scientific standpoint were medical doctors. They were well versed in human anatomy, the circulatory system and how blood flows would occur with different kinds of wounds. They were versed in the various causes of death and how blood may flow before and after death. They were familiar with how the body may swell or inflame due to certain injuries and how the body would undergo rigor mortis after death. All these things enter into the study of the Shroud from the standpoint of medical forensics. Every medical doctor, forensic pathologist or coroner who has analyzed the Shroud closely comes to the same conclusion; it appears to be the image of a real human being who died from the wounds seen on the image.
