Abstract

Because every orthopaedic traumatologist will interact with the legal system during their career--either as a treating physician of a patient involved in legal action, an expert witness, or as a defendant in a lawsuit--a basic understanding of the legal process is paramount to successfully serve in these roles. Common truths and misperceptions about medicolegal risk, expectations of care and documentation in the trauma setting, and information about being deposed and giving expert testimony will be discussed.

摘要

由于每位骨科创伤学家在其职业生涯中都会与法律体系互动——无论是作为涉及法律诉讼的患者的治疗医生、专家证人，还是作为诉讼的被告——因此，对法律程序的基本了解对于成功履行这些角色至关重要。本文将讨论有关医疗法律风险的常见事实和误解、创伤环境中的护理和记录的预期，以及关于被传讯和提供专家证言的信息。
