Legal Q&A

I have a question about unlicensed medical practice.

Hello. It is embarrassing, but I have a question regarding unlicensed medical practice. It is not that I have no medical license at all, but some time ago my medical license was suspended due to a certain incident. Even so, I simply concealed this and continued to perform medical practice. I thought it would be fine because there was no problem with my skill, but I have been reported for unlicensed medical practice. The punishment will be greater, will it not? I am worried that at this rate my license might be revoked altogether.

How can a manufacturer who concealed the side effects of a medical device be punished?

Hello. I would like to ask whether it is possible to file a report for a violation of the Medical Devices Act. Recently, I bought a medical device, and my skin completely broke out and became a mess. It is to the point that I have been receiving treatment at a dermatology clinic for over three weeks now. It seems to be a side effect of the medical device. Can I report the manufacturer who sold it while concealing the medical device's side effects for a violation of the Medical Devices Act?

I am requesting help from a medical attorney. I was assaulted by a patient.

I am requesting help from a medical attorney. I am a doctor, and I was recently assaulted by a patient under my care. As the patient was throwing things, I tried to stop him, and I was struck in the face several times with a fist. My colleagues tell me to file a complaint. I would like to ask whether I may file a complaint, and also whether I can file a complaint under the Medical Service Act in addition to the Criminal Act.

How do I report a violation of the Medical Service Act? It is related to an office-manager hospital.

Hello. How can I report a violation of the Medical Service Act? I discovered an office-manager hospital. If a person without a medical license hires a medical professional and opens a hospital, that is an office-manager hospital, right?? But when I report it, there won't be any retaliation against me, right? If I report it, is there something like a reward? haha I would like to know the reporting method and procedure, and whether there are any disadvantages or the like~!

Regarding a violation of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act... I falsely claimed insurance costs.

I have a question regarding a violation of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act.. It really is something I did wrong.. The rent for my pharmacy was overdue, so I think I really must have lost my mind. It was not a lot, but I inflated patients' treatment days and misappropriated the names of patients' family members to falsely claim medical insurance costs.. To defend against punishment as much as possible, it would be best to retain an attorney with experience in violations of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, right?

A medical accident consultation.. A patient has died.

I would like to request a medical accident consultation. A patient died due to a medical accident. It seems difficult to avoid responsibility… Even setting aside a civil lawsuit, will I also face criminal punishment? The bereaved family is also very angry… and the hospital told me to take full responsibility. It was absolutely not an accident caused intentionally… I would like to request a medical accident consultation…

I would like to ask whether this is a situation of violating the Medical Service Act.

I would like to ask whether this is a situation of violating the Medical Service Act. My mother was admitted to a hospital in Seoul and had surgery. However, she has recently been suffering from side effects of the surgery. But before the surgery, we were not told that such side effects could occur?? I think this is a situation of violating the Medical Service Act in which the doctor breached the duty to explain. Is that correct? If so, I would like to file a claim for damages or take some other action.

A dispute has arisen with the hospital over a medical accident..

A dispute has arisen with the hospital over a medical accident. My father passed away because the hospital did not respond properly. I believe it was a medical accident, but the hospital claims it was not their fault. The hospital says we should settle it according to the law... but I do not know much about law, so I am worried. To pursue a medical accident dispute with the hospital, I suppose I need to retain an attorney as well?
