Abstract

I pointed out the following medical problems based on my own research and investigations of civil proceedings relating to accidents. 1. Pay little attention to the circumstances of the accident 2. Too much emphasis on laboratory investigations for medical diagnoses 3. Unsuitable medication or medical examination 4. Money-making medical care and treatment 5. Poor mental care 6. Unsuitable or incorrect descriptions of the medical conditions of the subject 7. Lack of moral sense 8. Lack of ability to guide the co-medical staff Pre and post graduate medical education must be improved and as forensic pathologists we have to participate in finding a solution for these problems. Now is the time to reform the medical system and the cost of medical examination, treatment and consultation.
