ABSTRACT

Professional medical liability is the results of medical malpractice. It can be by negligence, inexperience or imprudence. The Lex Artis is the skill set and knowledge, which has been universally accepted by peers in the relevant medical speciality and must be diligently applied in the specific situation of a given patient. So, Lex Artis means guidelines for the clinical practice. Considering that in México the exercise of Medicine is an obligation of means, but not of results, therefore, by applying this principle, it is the most effective way to defend oneself, avoid complaint or lawsuits for a medical act, by adhering to the recommendations of the guidelines for the clinical practice.
