PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM PASIEN RUMAH SAKIT PADA PENGGUNAAN SINAR-X DI BIDANG KESEHATAN

Abstract

The patient is a consumer whose legal rights must be protected especially as it concerns the health of the patient at stake. Hospitals in providing health services using X-rays to patients must be based on legal rules governing their use to avoid the harmful effects of using X-rays. This study uses a normative juridical approach. Based on the results of the study note that the practice of using X-rays that are not based on health and humanity is not controlled. In general, patients who want to go to the hospital for a diagnosis are indeed not refused and are not given an appeal to delay the use of the X-ray method because they have a history of more than once using X-rays for the examination method within a period of one year. This raises the commercial nature of the hospital and the malpractice of a doctor because the patient is harmed in terms of material and health. This also includes criminal offenses which include negligence in the Criminal Code and criminal provisions in the Law on Medical Practice.
