The point of medical tests is their evidentiary value in court. If done by a person lacking the existing standard of knowledge (which I believe is a doctor) or equipment, the test results can be called into question in court - thus rendering them useless. The CSI character Catherine has the advantage of being a forensic expert, and furthermore, it's a TV show. Don't get me started about the differences between CSI and reality ;)
