So many combined reasons inspire me to attract the attention of my colleagues: in this article I will trace the analysis of a thorough work, give time to perfect the company, and I will be lucky if, after opening an interesting career, my efforts are covered in the excitement of others. One of these geniuses may be able to carry light wherever it enters to work for people`s happiness and safety by accurately describing the various objects I have been talking about! I believe I have the right to speak with the famous Bohn, whose field of medicine concerns judicial relations, has not been sufficiently cultivated, nor has it taken into account its difficulty and importance. In this article, I will first contain everything there is to know about the history and progress of forensic medicine, with reference to the best authors who have dealt with it. Secondly. Since death is certain and it is necessary to check the body for the preparation of a report, the expert should check everything himself as soon as possible, especially before air injuries or rot have caused changes; It must even take into account the time that has elapsed since the death of the person and carefully observe the effects that a delay or rot can have to distinguish everything that may depend on other causes. Judges question doctors in order to shed light on everything that has been reported about the human body or medicine in the strict sense, and they have the right to expect the fullest explanation of those things that are not inaccessible to real knowledge. Perfect or imperfect fetuses, monsters, runts, their baptisms. See „abortions”, „monsters”, „baptisms” (forensics) in this supplement. These reports are only „denunciation” when they are made by all kinds of doctors or surgeons professing on the occasion of an injury or similar accident, at the same time or shortly thereafter and at the request of the injured or those who are interested in themselves. On the contrary, they are „final” or „legal” if they are drafted and drafted in accordance with the orders of the persons appointed for that purpose or, if they are omitted, by the persons appointed by the judge. These final reports are the only ones that hold in court and guide judges in their decisions, „and since it is through their means that aggrieved parties always receive the arrangements at the costs of court proceedings, medication and alimony, they have been described as `provisional` according to their content. For the defence lawyer, he can only carry out visits with the consent of the request or by order of the judge. It is not the same as medical law.
The diagnosis of a disease is purely clinical and is not a medical right. Similarly, artificial insemination or telesurgery is purely clinical and not medical. However, discussing the possible harm to a patient and the legal implications of performing a new diagnostic or therapeutic procedure without informed consent is a matter of medical law, while the use of medical methods and techniques to help the judiciary clarify legal responsibilities is a matter of forensic pathology. Wikipedia Encyclopedia. Medicina Forense. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicina_legal. Last visit in May 2008. Forensic medicine has physically considered for an object, the life of man, preservation, health, disease, death, various injuries and faculties of soul and body: it often decides on matters on which the life, property, honor or mental health of citizens depend. This plan, which I will now explain, seems to me to comprise the greatest number of relationships between medicine and law of all kinds; My only subject in this article was to present the system or image of medical knowledge in relation to law, and it is mainly for doctors and surgeons that I did so. This has shown that the reports of the Medical Act can be viewed from a different angle, dealing more with legal advisers and judges; The result of these reports is what is known as medical jurisprudence: a detailed work which, fortunately, was undertaken and completed by M. Verdier, doctor of medicine and lawyer at the heart of the Parliament of Paris.
The knowledge you need to demand from an expert. We must avoid the excesses of certain authors who, by describing in detail the knowledge specific to a physician designated for reports, have ended up demanding the universality of science and demanding things impossible everywhere. But to avoid exaggerations, it is always obvious that among the different areas of medicine where the practice requires the most diverse talents and knowledge, forensic medicine is the most demanding. The extreme variety of objects that need to be reported requires the need to join a mass of knowledge that can only be acquired through experience with the help of geniuses. The code of law of ancient Greece (about 460 BC) was very elaborate. Moreover, it was a time of great progress in medicine. While there is no clear evidence that medical knowledge was officially used to provide evidence in court, it is known that Hippocrates and others discussed many authentic forensic issues. These questions included relative wound mortality in different parts of the body, average pregnancy duration, viability of children born before full birth, and other issues. On the way across the Mediterranean, there is a papyrus found in Egypt and dating back to pre-Christian times, in which a doctor in Alexandria presented a report of a suicide suspected of murder.5 Second, a doctor`s ministry has even closer ties to civil law. I have dealt above with the main issues related to criminal law and political law: it does not matter elsewhere that in dealing with these issues they are subjected to the steep march that has introduced scholars.
The clarity of the exposition here is the first merit, and since one always has in mind life, health, organ functions and death, these various questions shed light and explain one by one. The subject of medicine in criminal matters is established. First, to recognize the totality of the insult by the obvious signs that his profession puts him in a state; Secondly, to investigate the cause of this situation and to determine, on the basis of the form and circumstances of the injuries, their place of authority and their relationships, whether they were created naturally, accidentally or intentionally. Thirdly, if among the various signs that constitute the offence, it is because it is independent of each other and it is not possible to draw up reports on the same cases. Thus, a man who has already been abused by beatings can be seized with a fatal stroke. A woman who comes to have an abortion can only have been upset, etc. Gall, knocked down in a violent attack of colic, can produce all the signs of poison in the intestine. Fourth, if the infringement is caused only by the simple failure to take precautions that could have been enlightened.
Fifthly, if it were impossible to comply with these precautions. See „infanticide”, „abortion”, supplement. 1. The study and application of medical and scientific methods as evidence in a legal case, for example.
