German term

mit dem Auge Feststellungen treffen

German to English Medical General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Nun, wenn genitales Gas gebläht wird, kann die Haut aufplatzen, aber das muss nicht so sein, und die Frage ist, gibt es Zeichen der Vitalität, also ob eine Verletzung zu Lebzeiten entstanden ist, dann blutet es in die Wundumgebung, oder ob das postmortal ist, also nach dem Tode eingetreten.
Dazu hat Herr Dr. xxx lediglich mit dem Auge Feststellungen getroffen.

Person drew or jumped to conclusions based on visual observations.

Peer comment(s):

agree TonyTK : Yes (but not "jumped to"). Reminds me of my "Dances with Wolves" name for my wife - "Jumps to Conclusions".

Agree. The sentence shows implied criticism but "jumping to conclusions" isn't very subtle. Perhaps this name would be fairer to your wife: Uses Her Intuition.
agree Andrew Bramhall : My petname for my ex-missus stemmed from the Houses of Parliament: " The Leader of the Opposition"! (to what I wanted!)

agree Stuart and Aida Nelson : I must admit, it is idiomatic. The only thing I miss is the gist of "lediglich mit dem Auge" and I am astonished to know what some people think about women and exes :) :)

"Solely" based on visual observations should cover "lediglich"... On the upside, most women I know seem to be more than capable of defending themselves...

made the expert statements just by looking with the mere eye


Feststellung is a strong word normally meaning to ascertain.

Festellungen are written in statements

Following your previous questions and knowing that the alleged Dr gives expert opinions, I would say:

In relation to the above mentioned, Dr. xxx made the expert statements just by looking with the mere eye [and without scientific evidence]

Having said that statements are also given in the form of speech.
