The physician working in the SUS and their qualification as a public official for criminal purposes
In: Medical Criminal Law, Marcial Pons
This work brings together articles by Brazilian and foreign scholars, offering the public reflections on issues concerning the criminal liability of physicians. This is an area still little explored by Brazilian legal doctrine, especially when compared to the current state of discussions in foreign countries, which, in addition to being more advanced, are undergoing profound transformations. The importance and vulnerability of the legal rights with which physicians deal daily – the life, health, autonomy, and freedom of patients – highlights the sensitivity of the topics addressed, which have not only theoretical but, above all, practical relevance.
