| Abstract |
|
According to Medical Law, internal medicine is an essential medical course for the opening of a general hospital, and covers many departments of medical treatment under its jurisdiction. Due to the characteristics of the disease group and patients, patients with mild-to-severe disease are widely distributed. The uncertainty and difficulty in ensuring treatment outcomes, such as complex and multidisciplinary interventions for multiple diseases, have increased. As such, the increase in interventions in medical practice, specifically linked to patient survival, leads to an increase in the risk of medical accidents. Internal medicine also shows a high status in the initiation of mediation and medical evaluation. To help prevent and resolve medical disputes in the internal medicine field, this paper presents the current status of those disputes and the core legal principles of the Supreme Court for each medical practice, and suggests the author's opinion based on the experience of handling internal medicine cases. |
