Forensic Medical Comprehensive Examination

A comprehensive forensic medical examination aims to study the circumstances surrounding incidents that are of medical significance, as well as facts related to people’s behavior, their activities and health.

To carry out the examination, specialists from various non-medical fields, such as physics, engineers, chemists, criminologists, etc. are involved. This allows you to get a more complete picture of what happened, as well as use special methods and tools that are not available to medical specialists.

A comprehensive forensic medical examination can be carried out both within the framework of criminal or civil proceedings, and in other cases when it is necessary to conduct a detailed study of the circumstances of the incident.

During the forensic medical examination, the following studies can be carried out:

  1. Physical research: measurement of temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed and other physical parameters of the environment.
  2. Chemical studies: analysis of the composition of substances found at the scene, as well as an assessment of their effects on health.
  3. Forensic research: analysis of traces and evidence found at a crime scene, as well as identification of their origin.
  4. Engineering Investigations: Assessing the condition of structures, equipment and devices used during an incident.
  5. Psychological research: assessing people's behavior under stress, as well as identifying possible mental disorders associated with the incident.

The results of a comprehensive forensic medical examination help to establish the causes of the incident, determine the degree of responsibility of the participants and take measures to prevent similar situations in the future.



Forensic Medical Comprehensive Examination, abbreviation - ESMK This is a complex of various examinations conducted by non-medical specialists, most often individuals. Forensic medicine studies all injuries to a person to determine the circumstances that led to their occurrence, and also establishes the circumstances of the incident, making it possible to find those responsible for the incident. There are several areas of forensic medicine:

* Medical forensic examination - examines the circumstances of the damage, as well as the reasons why they appeared - poison, chemical reagents, firearms and other means. In addition, the general harm caused to the victim’s body is determined. The research is carried out very carefully, especially taking into account the emotional state of the victim. All data is processed by specialists - the evidence base is created only from information that does not raise doubts. Laboratory diagnostics for the study of biomaterials are carried out almost immediately. Hair, traces of blood, fingernail, organ, fingerprints can be used for it. Damage is assessed taking into account the ratio of skin tissues acting as rejection. If a corpse remains after the incident, then a detailed examination is carried out. The data obtained helps to find a criminal who uses firearms and bladed weapons in his actions. The sharpness of the blade and the location of the wound are taken into account. All this creates the foundation for finding evidence that will become an important detail in the trial. * Otolaryngological - checks the acoustic environment for the presence of extraneous sounds, which helps to establish the speech of the victim, shooter, criminal, as well as sound effects available for analysis. This could be a cry asking for help, some kind of command, an order, or a number of other options. The diagnostic process is used in the process of establishing moral responsibility for the death or injury of a citizen. * Physiological - allows you to determine the condition of the victim’s body, age, gender. The degree of alcohol intoxication at the time of detection. * Overall assessment - evaluates the general condition of the injured party, which can determine whether it is fatal. It also determines the nature of sleep. We are talking about the psychology of the body, the individual characteristics of the body and soul, when the patient has significant illnesses. The study takes into account the possibility of waking up at night during sleep from any events or sounds. In stressful situations, the subject does not fall asleep quickly. A person has difficulty falling asleep if he has to get up early and has not had enough sleep. Poor recovery occurs after a strong emotional experience. Research in the field of physiology is cumulative
