Abstract:
In legal expert discussions, the following questions are usually raised: Is the procedure indicated? Have all diagnostic and therapeutic steps been carried out lege artis? Has sufficient informed consent been provided? Is there a diagnostic or treatment error? Did this cause any damage? Is the damage causally related to the error? Consideration of these fundamental questions in daily practice and good communication between patient-physician, physician-patient, and between physicians themselves is good protection in legal disputes.
