Abstract
The medical world brings together the divergent interests of healthcare professionals and patients, and a balance between the two is always necessary to establish and maintain a relationship of trust and to ensure that the healthcare system functions properly. Conflicts do arise, however, particularly when patients feel that their rights have not been respected by health professionals, in which case the latter may be held liable, particularly under criminal law. However, there are justifications that practitioners can use to avoid any liability : in particular, the patient's consent, and it is up to the professional to prove this.
