Large numbers of drug users appear in police stations, either as a result of drug offences or as offenders who also misuse drugs. Invariably such offenders are dealt with by police surgeons or forensic medical examiners as they are now called. In this paper a review is made of the guidelines for drug users to access medical help, and the nature of the medical service provided. Supporting material is also provided by the use of some case histories taken from one UK police station. An assessment is made of the obligations and requirements of police surgeons to notify selected drug users under the Notification Regulations and the authors also suggest a more detailed research programme which could be developed.
大量吸毒人员出现在警察局，这或是毒品犯罪的结果，或是那些同时滥用毒品的罪犯所致。这些罪犯无一例外都由警察外科医生或如今所称的法医进行处理。本文回顾了吸毒人员获取医疗帮助的指导方针以及所提供医疗服务的性质。通过引用英国一个警察局的一些案例记录，还提供了相关支持材料。对警察外科医生依据《通报条例》通报特定吸毒人员的义务和要求进行了评估，作者还提出了一个可以开展的更详细的研究计划。
