title: [The problem of proof in the processing of complaints about alleged medical errors].
abstract: The processing of patients complaints of alleged medical errors comprises two main elements: the definition of the medical standard and general legal aspects, particularly the submission of evidence. On the basis of laws, chiefly the Health Act, several judicial theories are presented together with empirical studies and usage pertinent to the problem of evidence. It is concluded that there are very few empirical studies but that the instruments of law give wide scope for judgement on issues of alleged medical error.
