“…As a result of the study, the percentage of suicide attempts was found to be higher in those with low education levels. In the study of Deveci et al and Sogut et al, the suicide rate was found to be higher in those with low education levels (17,18). In our study and unlike these results, it was found that those who committed suicide had high education levels.…”

“…Since the number of forensic specialists in Turkey is insufficient, most judicial cases are examined by physicians who have specialized in areas other than forensic medicine (6,7). In addition to the insufficient importance given to forensic medicine courses during medical education, long working hours, inappropriate conditions for physicians and high number of patients make inaccurate judicial reports unavoidable (2)(3)(4)8).…”

Aim:This study aimed to analyze the judicial reports prepared in emergency services and to emphasize the importance of forensic medicine education for the physicians working at these services and the reflection of the situation to the judicial authorities. Materials and Methods:Reports prepared by Forensic Medicine Department of Gaziantep University Medical Faculty were accepted as the gold standard and the judicial reports of the same patients prepared in emergency services were compared retrospectively.Results: Most reports were found to be prepared as temporary reports. The concepts of general condition, consciousness, life-threatening clinical status and simple medical interventions were frequently mentioned, while other concepts were not mentioned. The success rate of identifying cases with and without life-threatening clinical status in emergency services was 83.49% and 85.52%, respectively. The success rate of identifying cases that could and could not be treated with simple medical intervention was 84.20% and 58.62%, respectively. Conclusion:It has been determined that the problems in both mentioning basic concepts and accurate report writing cannot be solved in the judicial reports organized in emergency departments. In order to protect themselves, physicians have a tendency to report the consequences more severe than they actually are. However, it should be kept in mind that this tendency may not protect the physician, but also may cause additional legal problems.

“…Especially during the late 1980s, doctors advised intravenous drug users to sterilize their shared needles with a sodium hypochlorite solution (5.25 %) to reduce transmissible illnesses. (6)(7)(8) Toxidromas or Toxicological Syndromes are clinical syndromes that can be useful to determine the etiology in cases of poisoning. However, symptoms alone may not be sufficient for diagnosis.…”

Sodium hypochlorite as a strong oxidant-bleaching agent and benzalkonium chloride as a biocide are frequently used agents for cleaning and sterilization purposes, both in health care units and at home. Despite the injection of sodium hypochlorite into the venous system has been described many times before, to our knowledge self-administration of a mixture of sodium hypochlorite and benzalkonium chloride has not been reported by a way of suicide. Our patient was a health Professional who was running a sport and beauty center. The amount of total concentration intake that patient said prepared by himself (400 ml of sodium hypochlorite, 400 ml of benzalkonium chloride, and 1000 ml of isotonic liquid ) was unknown but it was known that >150-200 mL of hypochlorite in adults is enough for systemic poisoning. The cross effects of chemicals on human tissues and organs are unpredictable, our patient was discharged by recovering all systemic damages except permanent kidney damage. This study aims to present a rare suicide poisoning event and adverse clinical sequelae.
