Responsabilidade penal do médico: lesão corporal decorrente de cirurgias plásticas

Abstract

The doctor's criminal responsibility is complex, because when you think of the doctor as an active subject of a crime committed within his or her work area, several questions arise. Medicine is the profession responsible for protecting and saving life, the most important legal good. When we speak about the doctor's criminal responsibility, we must analyze the guilt in a strict sense, because even if the authorship and materialization of the crime is proven, it is also necessary to prove the guilt element, which in the case of a medical error, will be subdivided into negligence, malpractice and recklessness. The objective of the work is to approach and analyze why people look for cosmetic plastic surgery and as a consequence of this, the criminal responsibility of a plastic surgeon, more specifically, when committing the crime of bodily injury.
