ABSTRACT
The professional responsability of the physician and the concept of malpractice are analyzed. In determining malpractice, the intention and the mode of action are more important than the actual damage that may be caused. Legal sanctions for malpratice must be based on objective evidence of nexcusable negligence in the medical action. A moral attitude stressing the values of Medicine rather than fear from legal sanctions should underlie all medical practice
