Criminal legal significance of medical malpractice

This article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of medical malpractice as a concept of criminal law. This article makes a constant criticism of this last approach and confirms the position that medical malpractice in criminal law should be understood as a special type of circumstance that prevents criminality, causing harm to a person in the course of a medical activity, where there was an objective possibility of avoiding it, but that was due to the physiological characteristics of the patient, to imperfect methods of providing medical attention, as well as to the inconsistency of the psychophysiological state of the medical worker in the current situation.
