ABSTRACT

In the physician-patient encounter the annual risk that this will end in a legal dispute is around 0.08%. Nevertheless, the topic is always very present. In such a situation it is important to act professionally and remain objective. An essential part that contributes to this are expert opinions; however, although these are among the basic tasks of a physician, they are not taught in training and further education. This article aims to make a contribution to this.
