The delivery of healthcare services within hospital facilities and the management of those services by a team of health professionals fundamentally changed the intrinsic characteristics of professional responsibility in the medical field. It is crucial to carefully evaluate the connection between the alleged cause and the alleged effect when proving the potential existence of medical professional liability profiles.
