Trauma, including rape and violence against women and children, accounts for the majority of emergency department visits in South Africa, especially over the weekends. The management of trauma not only involves the medical aspects of wound evaluation and treatment, but also the legal (forensic) aspect. This merger of medical and legal responsibilities is often overlooked as the healthcare professional is primarily concerned with the medical care of her/his patient. However, for the vast majority of patients, the follow up of the potential legal process is an important one, and adds to the patient's closure and healing. The healthcare professional is uniquely placed to help the patient both medically and legally and assist with this process.| By: | Kate Joyner |
