Medicine, as a profession, is quite a hard commitment, with the main aim of giving care to patients. Physicians assume professional accountability not only to their patients and relatives but also to legal authorities. In case of insufficiency in exercising this multi-dimensional accountability, they may confront legal and ethical issues. A high index of awareness of responsibility and accountability may help them avoid getting involved in unwilling situations. This article revisits physicians’ and, in particular, surgeons’ legal liability to medical legislation and jurisprudence in Turkey, with emphasis on medico-legal consequences.
