description | The evolution of the modern Romanian society reveals an increasing trend as to the liability for medical malpractice, which in correlation with recent amendments of relevant legislation should make healthcare professionals increase their awareness in this matter. In the analysis below, malpractice was defined from a theoretical and practical perspective, and approached from its potential consequences.
