Abstract
  Interventions of police officers in clinical departments, which is supported by some and rejected by others, will increase in frequency. In response to accusation and notification on article 21 of the Medical Practitioners Law, the police officer rushes into an investigation of the case. Criminal investigation has a search with the consent of the witness and compulsory investigation is accompanied by arrest or the seizure of documents. It is prosecuted by judgment of criminal investigation. In this process, the defendant has the right to remain silent, the right to ask for a lawyer, and the obligation to accept the questioning of the police.
  The criminal case: I present the case in which a patient died of total spinal block by epidural anesthesia.
  To defend yourself, the most important thing is not to make falsifications, not to join the flats, and not to incorrectly present one's actions. Honesty is the greatest defense.
