Forensic medicine and the practising doctor

Anthony Busuttil
Print Publication Year: 2010 Published Online: May 2010 Publisher: Oxford University Press
Item type: chapter
Doctors have to keep in mind their legal responsibilities and duties from the very first day
of their practice. The services of a medical practitioner are often called upon when injuries
and other forms of abuse have taken place, and also when death has occurred, particularly
if death was sudden and unexpected. As a direct consequence, the doctor may acquire
information that suggests a suspicious and potentially criminal event. In such instances, the
doctors duty of care and bond of confidentiality to the patient must be carefully balanced
against their duties as a citizen of a country in which homicide cannot go undetected and
crime cannot be condoned....
