Medicine, as a profession, is quite a hard commitment, with the main aim of giving care to patients. Physicians assume professional accountability not only to their patients and relatives but also to legal authorities. In case of insufficiency in exercising this multi-dimensional accountability, they may confront legal and ethical issues. A high index of awareness of responsibility and accountability may help them avoid getting involved in unwilling situations. This article revisits physicians' and, in particular, surgeons' legal liability to medical legislation and jurisprudence in Turkey, with emphasis on medico-legal consequences.
医学作为一门职业，需要做出相当艰巨的奉献，其主要目标是照顾患者。医生不仅要对患者及其亲属负责，还要对法律当局负责。如果在履行这种多维度责任时出现不足，他们可能会面临法律和伦理问题。高度的责任意识和问责意识可能有助于他们避免陷入不愿意面对的情况。本文重新审视了土耳其医生，尤其是外科医生在医疗立法和判例法方面的法律责任，重点关注法医学后果。
