RULES OF PRACTICE


The fulfillment of the purpose of these laws calla for the observance of the following rules of practice :


(1) Attending physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persons to whom they have given bedside care during a last illnesa from disease utirelated to any forin of injury.


(2) Board of Health physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persons who; though disabled by recognized disease unrelated to any form of injury, have died without recent medical attendance or whose physi- cian is absent from home when the certificate of death is neededl.


(3) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deaths sup- posably due to Injury. These include not only deaths caused directly or in- directly by trauntatism (including resulting septicemia), and by the action of chemical ( drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but also deaths from disease resulting from Injury or Infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.


STATEMENT OF CAUSE OF DEATH


Medical Examiners in certifying to a death will state the cause and manner thereof, and will specify: (1) Under cause, the nature of an injury atid of its consequences; and (2) under manner, the mode of its production together with the circuinstances when these are known. For example: "Con- pound fracture of the femur with ensuing septicemia (gas bacillus) caused by a steant railway accident." "Pistol shot wound of the chest with asso- ciated hemorrhage, homicidal." "Asphyxiation by suspension, suicidal." "Syncope while under the influence of ether adininistered as a surgical anaesthetic." "l'facture of the skull with associated internal injury sus- tained under circumstances unknown."


If disease or injury was related to occupation, specify. If investigation shows the death to have been due to disease, specify: (1) Under cause its known or presumahle nature; and (2) under manner, indicate the circuin- stances leading to medico-legal inquiry. For example: "Hemorrhage spon- taneous of the brain (basal ganglia) ( found dead in bed)." "ileart disease, presumably coronary sclerosis. (Sudden death. )"


DESCRIPTION (for unknown person) .


NOTICE TO UNDERTAKERS: No embalming fluid, or any substitute therefor, shall be injected into the body of any person supposed to have met his death by violence, until a permit, signed by the Medical Examiner, has first been obtained .- General Laws, Chap. 38, Sec. 14.
