Legal Q&A

I have a question regarding medical negligence.

In the course of receiving treatment, I was given an injection, after which an unexpected side effect occurred. However, neither before the treatment nor during the administration of the injection did I receive any explanation from the doctor about side effects or risks. I am wondering whether medical negligence can be recognized even in a case like this. The hospital has not yet provided any particular explanation or position, so out of frustration I am submitting this inquiry.

I am curious about the response strategy and the level of punishment for the crime of unlicensed medical practice as a violation of the Medical Service Act.

Hello, I am a nurse working in a provincial area. That day the hospital was extremely busy and complaints kept coming in, so I performed the X-ray imaging myself.. But someone saw that and reported it, sigh.. so I am now in a situation where I have been reported for violating the Medical Service Act, and I would like to know the response strategy during the investigation process. And what will the level of punishment be?

I would like to know the procedure for compensation for a medical accident.

Hello, side effects occurred during a procedure I underwent, and when I told the hospital, they instead treated me as a nuisance and took no action. It is to the point where I cannot carry on my daily life, and they were so shameless that it made me angry. So I am thinking of pursuing compensation for the medical accident, and I would be grateful if you could tell me the procedure.

What are the main acts that can be punished as a violation of the Medical Service Act?

I work at a medical institution, and recently I have often seen cases related to violations of the Medical Service Act in the news. Since there are many aspects in which I must comply with regulations related to the Medical Service Act in my daily work, I feel a little anxious at the thought that I could be punished if I do something wrong. What are the main acts that can be punished as a violation of the Medical Service Act?

I am curious whether it is an obstetrics and gynecology medical accident.

Hello, I am asking because I am curious whether this is an obstetrics and gynecology medical accident. Early this year, my wife gave birth to a child by cesarean section. She says that from after the delivery until now, she has had great difficulty going to the bathroom and has a tingling pain. My wife is still taking painkillers and bladder relaxants. However, the hospital insists that it is absolutely not a medical accident. I looked things up and responded through a mothers' online cafe and the community for that obstetrics and gynecology clinic, but I sometimes feel it is not enough. If it is indeed an obstetrics and gynecology medical accident, I think I will have to proceed with a lawsuit or something. I would appreciate an answer from a medical attorney.

I am facing an investigation into pharmaceutical rebates.

Hello, I am facing an investigation regarding pharmaceutical rebates. It appears that the investigation will proceed on the basis that I received rebates from a pharmaceutical company in the past. I had no bad intent, and thinking of it as a matter of service, I once received and used a device. I did not think of it as a pharmaceutical rebate. How should I respond?

I have a question about a plastic surgery medical accident.

Hello, I am in a situation where I have suffered significant harm from a plastic surgery medical accident. The plastic surgery clinic explained that there were side effects and said that the harm arose because I did not manage the aftercare properly, claiming that they bear no responsibility. It seems the hospital has retained an attorney to respond.. I will of course retain an attorney too, but I am worried about whether I can properly pursue litigation against the hospital. I should be able to receive compensation for the harm from the plastic surgery medical accident, right??

I am curious about the points to be careful of when registering a medical device patent.

Hello, I am trying to register a medical device patent, but I am not sure where and how to proceed. Since I have only done business in the United States, I am not familiar with domestic patent procedures and registration. I would like to know the procedure for registering a medical device patent and any points to be careful of. If I am not familiar with the Korean medical device patent procedures or regulations, would it be advisable to proceed with the help of an attorney from the beginning?

I have a question for a medical attorney.

I have a question for a medical attorney. I operate a hospital, and recently I have been at risk of punishment on a charge of submitting a false medical certificate. A patient whom I treated a while ago submitted it to an insurance company, and I was accused by the insurance company on the ground that the medical certificate contained false content. I am at risk of punishment, facing a charge of violating the Medical Service Act for preparing a false medical certificate. In such a case, what would be best to do? I will await the medical attorney's response.
