Physicians and Medicine

In cases of alleged medical malpractice, a criminal complaint is often readily used to acquire an expert opinion that the state has to pay for. In those cases it is rarely the fine imposed by a court that a physician fears – the more threatening consequences of a public trial are the devastating economical damages or the revocation of the approbation that even an acquittal can cause.

Through the legalization of many if not all areas of medicine, the number of potentially dangerous pitfalls for even the most observant physician has increased dramatically. To be able to deal with those areas, public prosecutors have established specialized departments. And so have we. Two of our attorneys (one of them a physician herself) are trained to protect a physician from losing much of his or her reputation before a trial has even started. It is our main incentive to react as early as possible and bring into force the instruments the law offers.
