Medicina general y medicinal legal
description
The general practitioner is a primary care professional who cares for and treats an endless number of medical cases and who can be located at different levels of health care. Now, legal medicine, also known as forensic medicine, is a specialized field that applies medical knowledge to legal matters. However, general practitioners receive some notions of legal medicine as part of their training and can collaborate in some legal cases, just as legal practitioners often perform functions as general practitioners. From the above, the relationship between general medicine and legal medicine can be inferred; and based on this, the objective of the following investigation is proposed, which is to capture the general aspects of both, their functions and said relationship. The research was carried out under a bibliographic documentary type methodology, under the review modality. Although forensic medicine and general medicine are two distinct fields, they often overlap and collaborate with each other. Legal medicine can be found as a subject within the medical career, but also as a specialized career. In this sense, the general practitioner, depending on the country and the educational system, must handle the minimum knowledge about legal medicine, therefore, collaborate in some parts of the judicial process. In cases of medical malpractice or neg-ligence, forensic experts may be called in to give testimony in court and determine the level of care that should have been provided. Medical examiners, who are trained in both legal medicine and general medicine, play a critical role in investi-gating sudden or unexpected deaths and determining the cause and manner of death. Therefore, the relationship between legal medicine and general medicine is complex and multifaceted, with each field playing a crucial role in promoting health and guaranteeing justice

Ahora bien, la medicina legal, también conocida como medicina fo-rense, es un campo especializado que aplica los conocimientos médicos a los asuntos legales. No obstante, los médicos generales dentro de su formación reciben algunas nociones de medicina legal y pueden colaborar en algunos casos de justicia, así como el médico legal muchas veces cumple funciones como médico general. De lo anterior se infiere la rela-ción existente entre la medicina general y la medicina legal; y en base a ello es que se plantea el objetivo de la siguiente investigación, el cual es plasmar los aspectos generales de ambas, sus funciones y dicha relación. La investigación se realizó bajo una metodología de tipo documental bibliográfica, bajo la modalidad de revisión. Aunque la medicina legal y la medicina general son dos campos distintos, a menudo se superponen y colaboran entre sí. La medicina legal puede encontrarse como materia dentro de la carrera de medicina, pero también como una carrera especializada. En tal sentido, el médico general, según sea el país y sistema educativo, debe manejar los conocimientos mínimos acerca de medicina legal, por tanto, colaborar en algunas partes del proceso judicial. En casos de mala praxis o negligencia médica, se puede llamar a expertos en medicina legal para que brinden testimonio en los juzgados y determinen el nivel de atención que debería haberse brindado. Los médicos forenses, que están capacitados tanto en medicina legal como en medicina general, desempeñan un papel fundamental en la investigación de muertes súbitas o inesperadas y en la determinación de la causa y la forma de muerte. Por lo tanto, la relación entre la medicina legal y la medicina general es compleja y mul-tifacética, y cada campo juega un papel crucial en la promoción de la salud y la garantía de la justicia.2023text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8977057(Revista) ISSN 2588-073XRECIMUNDO: Revista Científica de la Investigación y el Conocimiento, ISSN 2588-073X, Vol. 7, Nº. 1, 2023, pags. 629-639spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
