Abstract:

A case of commission forensic medical examination in the St. Petersburg Bureau of Forensic Science of a civil case due to an unfavorable treatment outcome is presented. Patient T., 45 years old; due to erroneous histological verification of oncological pathology, she had both breasts removed and received antitumor treatment. It has been shown that defects in histological diagnosis can lead to errors by clinicians and become the subject of lawsuits by patients accusing healthcare professionals of adverse treatment outcomes. It is emphasized that the current legislation lacks medical criteria and an algorithm for assessing the severity of injury to health in women with one or both breasts removed.

Keywords:
