THEORY OF DOCTORS' MISTAKES - A SPECIAL BRANCH OF SCIENCE

Аннотация

The phenomenon of a doctors mistake (a mistake of thinking) is complicated, practically not studied. Therefore, there is no systematic scientific knowledge about the mistakes of doctors. The imperfection of the theory of doctors' mistakes leads to different and opposite positions even among doctors. Uncertainty about main concepts, like «medical error», leads to a complex and contradictory relationship between a doctors' error and the criminal code. The theory of a doctor's mistakes should be the status of a separate section of science.
