A good chunk of the names on this list aren't MEs. 174.91.6.51 (talk) 01:48, 8 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

For example, Tru on Tru calling was not the ME, and her boss is not listed!(James S.)

Should be included?

They’re not all labeled “ME” because not all tv is filmed/written in the US. Other countries have different names for them.

Helene Joy plays Dr. Julia Ogden on Murdoch Mysteries. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1091909/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Clare Holman plays Dr. Laura Hobson on Inspector Lewis. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0874608/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Cristina Ionda plays Gina Kadinsky on Brokenwood Mysteries. Gina is a pathologist, but in New Zealand, the pathologist is the one who carries out the post mortem, see: https://coronialservices.justice.govt.nz/what-happens-during-a-post-mortem/

Louise Brealey plays Molly Hooper on Sherlock. Molly is a “specialist registrar”, according to Wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specialist_registrar: “A specialist registrar (SpR) is a doctor in the Republic of Ireland and in the United Kingdom who is receiving advanced training in a specialist field of medicine in order to eventually become a consultant.”

Given the differences in titles in various jurisdictions (coroner versus medical examiner), this might be better called "List of fictional forensic pathologists". —DocWatson42 (talk) 03:05, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Harrow

edit

Several characters on the Australian drama series Harrow are MEs and/or forensic pathologists, including Daniel Harrow, Simon Van Reyk, Lyle Fairley, Maxine Pavich, and Grace Molyneux. In addition, the character Jack Twine is a retired ME.
