Subpoena?Sepina?Sapina? : Experience testifying in court.
If you are a medical officer like me, you will have a chance to be called to testify in court. Especially district MO. As you recalled, there will be a lot of assaulted cases, rape cases and so called OSSC cases. This will definitely give you a higher chances to become a witness in court. Today was my first time summoned by court. I would share my experiences so that other medical officer can at least learn how to attend a court session. First of all, Subpoena..or they call it Sapina. It was a formal 'invitation' by court. It is compulsory for you to come, this is not like a party invitation or something, this kind of invitation that you will get a penalty if you did not attend. When I first received my Sapina, I was nervous like hell. Only for a while as my almost 2 years old daughter always gave me hedache. Don't have time to get nervous. After getting the Sapina, first thing I did was, meet my bos to get unrecorded leave and arrange for travelling expenses.
