Abstract
  A medical accident becomes the object of a criminal lawsuit. A doctor or a nurse may assume a lot of responsibility in a case of a simple clinical mistake. When a clinical handling becomes an object of a criminal lawsuit, the problem will become difficult. It took a long time to investigate the Oono Hospital and Kyorin College cases. In these cases, defense attorneys are opposed to the public prosecutor on the clinical findings and handlings.
  If your case becomes criminal, your protection will begin with a consultation with a defense attorney. The base of your protection is the truth and your level of clinical standards. A protocol from the interview room, which is not visible by private citizens, has a very important role in court. It is very important for you to do well in the interview room for protection against police officers.
