具備醫療知識非訴訟中病方之必要義務【寰宇醫事裁判】 試閱
Its no necessary for the Patient and his Litigation Attorney to have Professional Medical Knowledge
病患在二間醫院接受多次髖骨手術後，發生細菌感染現象，向醫師主張因錯誤執行手術、未遵循衛生規則，導致嚴重感染之財產上及精神上損害賠償。
第三審法院認為，因爲病患無法被期待具有足夠的醫療專業知識，其在醫療訴訟中的資訊揭露與舉證義務僅被適度地要求，而不具有查明並說明引發感染確切原因的義務。且第二審法院並未聘請於本案必要之鑑定人，調查手術是否合於應遵守的衛生規則，而有程序上之錯誤。
Many operations of hip in two hospitals caused the Infection of bacteria, therefore the patient accused the doctors that they operated in error, didn’t follow the hygiene rules, and so caused the serious infection, for the property and compensation and spiritual.
The supreme court thought that the patient was unexpected to have professional medical knowledges, so his burden of proof was requested moderately. Therefore, the patient had no obligation to explain the concrete cause of infection. Furthermore, the court didn’t hire an expert, which was necessary in this case, to investigate whether the operation followed the hygiene rules, so misconducted in the procedure.
