Conclusion of Forensic Medical Examination

``` Conclusion of a forensic medical expert - see Report of a forensic medical expert.

According to law 73 Federal Law, a doctor or other medical professional does not have the right to issue a medical report for any legal purposes. But the bodies of inquiry and investigation do not require the operative part of the conclusion. Therefore, the investigator can write any document. This order from the investigator to order an examination is usually of two types: either the research confirms the indictment, or it does not. If an expert opinion confirms the accusation, then the expert’s conclusions can be regarded as information that helps the judge or prosecutor make the right decision. The expert medical report must contain the following basic information: information about the expert, date, signature; assigned number; the objects and materials of the study are listed (the basis for the conduct); date of receipt of research objects and materials; description of the appearance of research objects; data about the persons who presented these research objects to the expert, and data from medical documents about their condition, etc.; questions posed to the expert based on the results of the description of the research conducted or directly during the examination of the presented objects and materials; describes the research process and conclusions/answers to the substance of the questions posed; answers to additional questions (if any were given), as well as attached materials and documents (photos, slides, radiographs, etc.) that are presented to the expert; list of scientific literature used (if used). The expert doctor bears personal responsibility for the accuracy of the forensic medical examination, as evidenced by his signature at the end of the report. The procedure for drawing up a conclusion In terms of content, a forensic medical examination consists of two parts: descriptive and final. The descriptive part contains a statement of the circumstances established during the consideration of criminal or civil cases, a description of the objects of examination, and the formulation of an identification set of characteristics of the object under study. It also includes an expert’s opinion on special medical disciplines and an objective pathological-anatomical description of objects based on morphological, histological, cytological and other data obtained from laboratory studies. When describing research results, the primary and permanent (former) name of the object from which the material for research was taken is indicated. In this part, the court is guided by the research results from the point of view of their evidentiary value for the case.
