Abstract
A medical accident due to negligence is called “medical malpractice” . In a medical dispute, the patient goes to court and this is a “medical lawsuit” . In medical malpractice, the criminal responsibility, civil responsibility and administrative penalties become a problem. A total of 1,110 cases of civil acts were filed in 2005. 405 judgments were passed, and the patients won in 39.5% of the cases. Since 1999 there have been 89 criminal judgments for doctors, nurses and co-medical staff because of medical malpractice. The construction of a medical safety control system is needed and the medical risk management is an important task. Learning the specific cases, watching videos and/or enacting near-miss cases, we expect that many people will pay attention to the improvement of high-risk situations.
