Force Medical Examiner or Forensic Medical Examiner (FME) is any doctor used by the police in the United Kingdom. There are usually multiple doctors utilized by a police force, and the FME is the one who happens to be on call. Qualified doctors serving as FMEs generally serve as part of a regional pool for the police stations in their area. ==Role== The police may call upon the services of an FME for several different reasons, the most common of which include: * To confirm and certify death at the scene of a sudden death, * To examine and provide medical care to injured persons in police custody, or police officers injured on duty, * To examine those who claim police officers used excessive force or similar malpractice, and record their findings accordingly and officially, * To be present to take blood samples from suspected drink-drivers who are unable or refusing to provide a breath or urine sample, * To provide official medical opinion where it is needed (e.g. in cases where impairment is a factor), the FME can also be called to court for a medical opinion where a medical factor is disputed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Force Medical Examiner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
