Abstract
Initial medical certificate is a descriptive medical and legal document whose purpose is to prove the existence of a damage and to enable the victim to access his or her right. The purpose of our study was to study the content and to evaluate the writing quality of initial medical certificates. We conducted a retrospective and descriptive study over an 18-month period, from January 2017 to June 2018. We collected data from 450 initial medical certificates at the Forensic Medicine Department of the Charles Nicolle University Hospital in Tunis. The quality of the initial medical certificates was assessed using a template that allowed to assign them a score out of 30. A mean score was mainly assigned to initial medical certificates Template scores ranged between 9.5 and 27.5/30 with an mean of 18.59/30. General practitioners and specialist physicians, such as ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons and doctors using the support provided by the Ministry of Health wrote better certificates. Similarly, we noted better quality of writing when certificates dealt with intentional assaults and injuries. Our study shows that the majority of initial medical certificates does not conform to editorial guidelines. These shortcomings are probably related to the fact that doctors have never received adequate medical-legal training. Copyright: Chahnez Makni et al.Entities:
