Annotation:
When considering so-called medical cases, questions about the content of deficien- cies in medical care and their impact on the outcome of the disease (injury, intoxication) often arise. This information can be used for a legal assessment of the actions (inaction) of a medical worker. In this regard, it is proposed to legitimize the concepts «iatrogenic» and «iatrogenic pathology» for their equal legal understanding. The article discusses the need for legal perfection of the concepts of «iatrogenesis», «iatrogenic pathology». We have proposed the definitions of these concepts, which can be used by the legislator for improving legal regulation of medical care in Russia.
Keywords:
constitutional principle of legal equality, legal uncertainty, responsibility of medical professionals, deficiencies in medical care «iatrogenesis», «iatrogenic pathology», legal uncertainty
