In England if you want to do this, I suggest:
1) Address the Fax to The Judge's Clerk, not to the judge herself, or to the
Clerk to the Justices if it's a magistrate's court off on a frolic of its
own
2) Any discussion with anyone other than a person directly involved with the
patient's clinical care (that's what he is to us, not an "offender") should
only be done with the consent of the patient.
3) If you are worried seek the advice of your defence organisation,
malpractice insurers or the Trust legal Advisors.
I think it should be down to the patient's solicitor to organise the blood
analysis in this context. It really is remise to just tell/let the patient
go off and organise his own forensic testing.
