Recalling real life cases, the need for swift action from investigating officer was emphasised. The confirmatory test for brain death was explained – through a breathing exercise. A few case studies which highlighted the role of the police men during the MLC were discussed. A Quiz program was conducted to help them to recall the concepts which they learnt in the first session.
