Medical malpractice is a tough problem for medical establishments and tension often exists between the establishments and the patients, which possibly results in the instability of society. Form the perspective of protecting the legal interests of both the patients and the medical staffs, it is desirable to elaborate on the issue of medical malpractice with view of providing practical guidance.The main body of this dissertation is composed of three chapters.Chapter One deals with the definition of medical malpractice, covering mainly the interrelations between medical malpractice, concerning controversy and medical dispute. This chapter also distinguishes the concept of behavioral agent (the medical staffs) and that of responsibility agent (the medical establishments) and defines the nature of the medical establishments and medical behavior, thus putting forward the reasons why the identities of medical staffs and the would-be medical staffs need conformation.

Owing to theparticularity of medical behavior, the concerning evaluation needs to conform to the general principles and certain special ones stemmed from the particularity as well.Chapter Three is devoted to the nature of technical expertise concerning medical malpractice and the feasibility that the Medical Association takes charge of the expertise, maintaining that the conclusion of the technical expertise is not only objective and law-confirmed but also subjective to certain extent.
