RULES OF PRACTICE


The fulfillment of the purpose of these laws calls 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 illness from disease unrelated to any form of injury.


(2) Board of Health physiolans 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 needed.


(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 traumatism (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 and of its consequences; and (2) under manner, the mode of its production together with the circumstances when these are known. For example: "Com- pound fracture of the femur with ensuing septicemia (gss bacillus) caused by a steam railway accident." "Pistol shot wound of the chest with asso- ciated hemorrhage, homicidal." "Asphyxiation by suspension,, suicidal." "Syncope while under the influence of ethier administered as a surgical anaesthetic." "Fracture 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 presumable nature; and (2) under manner, indicate the circum- stances leading to medico-legal inquiry. For example: "Hemorrhage spon- taneous of the brain (basal ganglia) (found dead in bed)." "Heart 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.

RULES OF PRACTICE


The fulfillinent of the purpose of these laws calls 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 lastilluess from disease unrelated to any form 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 needed.


(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 traumatism (including resulting septicenila), 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 ocoupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persons found dead.


Statement of Cause of Death .- Cause of death means the disease. or complication which causes death, not the mnoile of dying. e. g., heart failure, asphyxia, asthenia, etc. As principal cause name the disease causing death. As related causes, name earlier morbid conditions, if any, related to the principal cause and any important complication of the principal cause.


Statement of Occupation .- Precise statement of occupation is very im- portant, so that the relative healthfulness of various pursuits can be known. Make some entry in this section for every person aged 10 years or over. If the occupation had been given up or changed on account of the disease causing death, report the usual occupation prior to illness. If the deceased had retired from business, report the usual occupation prior to retiremeut. Children not gainfully employed may be returned as at school or at home. For a woman whose only occupation was that of home Itousework, write housework. For a person engaged in domestic service for wages, however, designate the occupation by the appropriate termis, as housekeeper-private family, cook-hotel, etc. For a person who had no occupatiou whatever write uone.
