Abstract Medical conduct contains normative elements, personal morals and conscience, religious ethics and legal norms. The medical conduct should provide special protection of human dignity, body, life and self-determination. In order to provide effective protection, legally established norms need to be enforceable and infringement must be sanction able. It is a fact that the more the individual responsibility of the physician remains unsanctionable and therefore without legal risk the more the patient remains virtually unprotected (Planck, 1994). The aim of this study was to shed some light on practitioner`s responsibility, to alarm proliferation of problems specially when the profession as a whole is facing new and difficult problems. |
