The definition
A CME — compulsory medical examination — is a medical examination arranged in the context of litigation, typically requested by a defense, to evaluate a person's condition. The examination is part of the legal process, not a treatment.
Why it is recorded
Video documentation preserves an accurate, objective record of what occurred during the examination — what was asked, what was done, and how the examinee responded. That record can matter later in the case.
What the videographer does
The videographer sets up discreetly, records the examination with clear audio, and does not interfere with the medical work. The result is a clean master preserved for the case.
