Abstract
Summary: In recent years doctors and medical institutions are increasingly in the focus of law enforcement bodies, the number of criminal cases against doctors and the number of cases bringing to administrative responsibility of medical institutions is growing. Despite the fact that defects in the provision of medical care are detected in half of the cases, a direct cause-effect relation and the determination of the severity of harm to health are detected in isolated cases. The right legal evaluation of action (inaction) of a medical worker in a specific situation can be given under methodologically correctly performed examination.
