RULES OF PRACTICE
The fulfillment of the purpose of these laws cails for the ohaervance of the following rules of practice :
(1) Attending physicians will certify to such deaths only as those of persona to whom they have given bedside care during a iast illnesa from disease unrelated to any form of injury.
(2) Board of Health physicians will certify to such deaths only aa those of persons wbo, though disabled by recognized disease unrelated to any form of injury, have died witliut recent medical attendance or whose physi- ciau is absent from home when the certificate of death is needed.
(3) Medical Examiners will investigate and certify to all deatha sup- posably due to Injury. These include not only deatha caused directly or In- directly by traumatism ( including resulting septicemia), and hy the actlon of chemical (drugs or poisons), thermal, or electrical agents, and deaths following abortion, but also desths from disease resulting from Injury or Infection related to occupation, the sudden deaths of persons not disabled by recognized disease, and those of persous found dead.
STATEMENT OF CAUSE OF DEATH
Medical Examiners in certifying to a death will state the cause and manner tbereof, and wili 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 (gas bacillus) caused by a steam railway accident." "Pistol shot wound of the cbest with asso- ciated hemorrhage, homicidal." "Asphyxiation by suspension, suicidal." "Syncope while under the influence of ether adininistered 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 presumahle nsture; and (2) uiler manner, indicate the circum- stances leading to medico-legal inquiry. For example : "Hemorrhage spon- taneous of the brain ( basal ganglia) ( found desd in bed)." "Heart disease, presumably coronary sclerosis. (Sudden death.)"
