Nothing to do with crispy-forms, this is regular Django forms code. You have forgotten to call parent constructor, if you are using python 2.X do:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(YourFormClassName, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['medical_record_number'].initial = 'whatever you want'
Beware that maybe you prefer to set initial in your Django form field:
whatever = forms.CharField(initial="whatever you want")
