论医疗侵权诉讼证明责任分配

On the Burden of Proof in Medical Tort Action

医疗侵权证明责任分配,面临着立法分配上的左右摇摆、理论上分歧突出、实践中分配两难等诸多困境。从诉讼主体结构、程序与实体价值等理论角度以及社会因素等方面考量,应当由患者一方承担证明责任。这样既符合证明责任一般的分配原则,在遵循现行立法的基础上,又能够恰当衡量诉讼主体利益,实现诉讼程序与实体的双重价值,达到良好的社会与司法效果。

Allocating the burden of proof of medical tort is facing with unsteady legislative allocation,outstanding theoretical differences,practical distribution dilemma,and many other difficulties. In terms of theoretical perspectives including lawsuit subject structures,procedures and physical value of litigation and other social factors,it should be borne by the patient party to prove responsibility. This is consistent with not only the general principle of distribution of burden of proof,in compliance with current legislation,but also the proper measurement of the interests of the subject of litigation.Only by this means can the value of the procedures and physical value be achieved,good social and judicial effect be achieved.
