TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - The reality behind the bruises--clinical picture and documentation in abuse of women JO - Nordisk Medicin A1 - Eriksson, Antonina A1 - Ormstad, K. SP - 141 EP - 144 VL - 107 IS - 5 N2 - Most battered women consult for their injuries at the community health centre or the emergency room--often without disclosing the fact that they are the victims of battery. Beyond venturing to inquire, lending a sympathetic ear and being supportive, with a view to any future criminal proceedings it is particularly important that the attending physician meticulously documents all injuries manifested by a battered woman--even if at that juncture she does not intend to bring charges. If necessary the forensic pathologist can assist the clinician in drawing up a report of the injuries and in assessing their origin.
