違反心血管疾病醫療常規之刑事責任

Criminal Liability for Doctors against Medical Guidelines in Cardiovascular Disorders Cases

雖然司法實務有以理性人標準所發展出的醫學常規注意標準，作為醫師是否有執業過失的判斷標準，然而，由於醫療常規並非必然代表醫學上，理性醫師應有的注意標準，則以民事上降低注意義務內涵之醫療常規是否違反，作為醫師是否負刑事責任之判斷基準，是否妥當，容有進一步檢討之空間。本文除以一則最高法院多次發回更審的案例為基礎，分析探討我國實務論斷醫療醫事過失責任之標準外，更以美國相關實務的案例為說明，針對我國實務就醫療過失案件所持觀點，進行分析檢討。

Although the reasonable standard has been proposed to decide if a doctor commits the medical negligence, it is questionable if this civil approach should apply in criminal cases. This study discusses this topic with a local multi-retrial case as well as a relative criminal dispute happened in the United States by focusing on the current local judicial practices with its American counterpart in Taiwan.
