[False diagnosis--a nevus and its juridical consequences]

Not only therapy but also diagnosis requires high quality on the physician's part. He has to make a diagnosis according to the symptoms of the sickness as well as the patient's anamnesis applying all necessary resources of medical science. The right diagnosis at the beginning of treatment is an essential precondition for the proper information of the patient. During medical attendance, as well, the physician has to apply all possibilities of diagnosis. He is responsible for all damages brought on by a false diagnosis or by not making a diagnosis at all.
