J.I.G.

español al inglés Medicina Medicina (general) Consultations
A single reference in a clinical trial protocol from Spain for translation to British English:

"Al tratarse de un estudio abierto que evalúa prácticas clínicas habituales, los fármacos del estudio serán prescritos por el facultativo que trata a los pacientes (J.I.G.) y, por tanto, serán suministrados por las oficinas de farmacia habituales de los pacientes."

one more vote I think in this context it only makes sense that these are somebody's initials. Maybe you can look elsewhere in the file to see if they mention a doctor with initials JIG.

And from the DRAE on Facultativo: 7. (m. y f.) Persona titulada en medicina y que ejerce como tal.

I'm not sure why I didn't think of it first myself, but am pretty sure you are right, thanks.

I must admit I never knew "facultativo" meant "doctor". But now that I do, I agree they are almost certainly initials.

@Helena ¡Qué sintonía!
Charles Davis Oct 20, 2016:
Initials? Any chance they could be a doctor's initials?
Helena Chavarria Oct 20, 2016:
The initials might stand for the name of the person treating the patients.
