Medical report help?

Question

I am listening to a medical report and the doctor says (or what sounds like) "The "claymen" or "clayment" was identified by a photo i.d.

then the same word in this sentence:

"The history was taken by the "claymen" and the mother.

What word is he saying? I know it's not "claymen" but that's what it sounds like.

Answer 1

Could it be 'claimant' as in somebody who is claiming? This might be something to do with medical insurance perhaps.
