Autopsy: A study of a dead being for the purposes of determining a cause of death or furthering an education of the personnel of the hospital.

Clinical Trespassing: When a person not injured or a part of hospital staff is interfering with hospital operations. On The Medical Licensing Process: Lessons: The Apprentice wishing to become a full practitioner must complete each lesson in the Hospital curriculum under the Surgeon General or Deputy Surgeon General. The Written Medical Exam: Once the Apprentice has completed the training and has gotten the approval of the Surgeon General, they may then take the written exam. This exam will cover hospital policy and procedure while also covering theoretical events where medical knowledge is needed to make the call. Licensing: Once an Apprentice or applying Auxiliary Medic has completed the medical exam, they are then qualified for a medical license to practice in the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska after taking the oath of a Doctor with the Surgeon General.

Should the Surgeon General or Deputy Surgeon General lose their license, they will be stripped of their position, banned from practice, and brought before the court for malpractice and gross incompetence.

If the practitioner is on active duty they may only refuse treatment if their life is under threat by the patient. Patients may refuse treatment so long as they are fully conscious when the attending medic arrives. Only the Koeng or the Lord Palatine may overrule this should they or the Surgeon General informing them deem it necessary. Another descendant or next of kin may not refuse on behalf of the patient if said patient is unconscious.

Proper Care of Corpses and Cadavers will be left to the Surgeon General and Deputy Surgeon General. Each corpse and cadaver will be stored for 13 months before being cremated. This is to prevent a viral pandemic to break out. If the corpse does not have family or the family has not come to collect the corpse, it must be burned. Lessons can be held in the morgue for practical skills. These lessons shall be held by the Surgeon General or Deputy Surgeon General presiding. Only Apprentices and other hospital staff may be down in the morgue if a lesson is taking place there. All others will be asked to leave lest they be charged with clinical trespassing. Cremation will take place when: the corpse has not been collected after 13 months and no family or the state has stated otherwise after being contacted or the cadaver has not been used in 13 months to prevent disease from spreading. Reports will be written by the Surgeon General or Deputy Surgeon General depending on which office is doing the autopsy. The family, State, and Hospital Management shall have access to the autopsy report should the need arise. All of the policies above are to be held by the Surgeon General and the staff under them. Should any issues arise, do contact the Hospital of St. Amyas. Thanks go to past Surgeon General, Aestenia Aevaris, for the original draft of the Code of Conduct.
