Physicians may be asked to provide care to victims of violence. Adequate diagnostic and therapeutic management must be provided. Establishing a detailed medical testimony can substantially influence the judiciary or administrative procedure's outcome. This paper provides guidelines for writing a medical testimony and describes the criteria that physicians need to consider in order to serve at best the interests of their patient within a mutually trustful relationship.
