It is a matter of actual discussion the practice to initiate legal actions against the doctors that is becoming frequent in our
practice. This constitutes a real threat. The judalization of medicine, excessive and without ethical control, takes to deteriorate
to the doctor-patient relationship and increases the prices of the medical care. The health attentions goal is to benefit the pa-

adverse events. In our country, any action or omission in a health action can generate the obligation for the institution and or
the professional to repay the material or moral damages that a person credits to have suffered. This has generated an increase
in the claims and/or legal actions, as well as a greater global cost of the medical care. A study conducted in Boston in more

medical malpractice,
