Forensic medical assessment of medical care in obstetric practice

Аннотация

In forensic medical practice, solving the problem of defining the concept of medical error is necessary to distinguish offenses from the so-called "permissible professional errors in medical activity." It is quite understandable that most manufacturers of medical services attribute medical errors to purely medical concepts, and therefore they say that it is impossible to bring medical workers to criminal responsibility for professional mistakes. At the same time, for many years in the works of forensic doctors and lawyers, the concept of "medical error" has been so contradictory that it did not contribute to an objective study of this phenomenon.
