Protection and Countermeasures Against Medical Violence: A Lesson from the Court Decisions in Taiwan
醫療暴力不僅傷害了醫療人員,也妨礙了不特定多數人的就醫權。臺灣針對妨礙醫療業務執行罪之主要規定在於醫療法第24條及第106條,但是第一線醫護人員在面臨醫療暴力威脅的當下,仍然有很多疑惑,包含妨礙醫療業務執行罪之構成要件(強暴、脅迫、恐嚇、公然侮辱)、醫療暴力現行犯的認定、醫療暴力案件警察機關的義務、醫療暴力病人出院及轉院安排等議題。本文分析近年法院對於上述問題之見解,期能改善醫療環境並保障大眾的就醫權。
Medical violence not only impacts medical personnel but also impedes the right to healthcare for the unspecified majority. Taiwan main provisions for crimes that hinder the execution of medical care are stipulated in Articles 24and 106 of the Medical Care Act. However, when faced with the threats of violence, frontline health workers still have many doubts related to the constitutive elements of crimes that hinder the execution of medical practices (by means of violence, coercion, intimidation, or public insults), the identification of violent offenders in flagrante delicto, the obligations of the police authorities in cases of violence against medical professionals, and the discharge and transfer arrangements for patients involved in these cases. This study thus analyzes recent court judgments on the abovementioned issues with an expectation of improving the medical environment and protecting the right to healthcare for the public.
