In recent years an increasing number of criminal charges and claims of inadequate health care provided by doctors have been observed. The driver of this increased number of claims and criminal charges is not usually based on poor quality of work, but is a result of targeted negative campaigns directed to strengthening the legal awareness of a patient by encouraging patients to lodge complaints and criminal claims against doctors in order to achieve compensation for alleged injury. The article gives some advice about how physicians should behave when facing allegations by the legal system.
