Evaluatıon of forensic medical aspects of medical interventions and damages caused by unauthorized persons.
Legal Medicine 2024 April 28
BACKGROUND: Medical interventions are procedures that are conducive to creating danger on people's life and body immunity due to their characteristics. We aimed to raise awareness and make contributions by revealing the fact that serious bodily and mental harms occur due to medical interventions by the ones who do not have the authority to perform.
METHODS: We evaluated 210 cases appealled to our institution between the years of 2017 and 2022 who suffered damage after medical interventions by people who do not have any authorization or license. The damages that occurred in the cases were evaluated in terms of medical and legal aspects. Analysis of the data were done with SPSS 25.0 for Windows and the statistical alpha significance level were accepted as p < 0.05.
RESULTS: 76.7% of the cases were women, 87.1% were young individuals under the age of 40 Of the medical interventions, 91.9% were for aesthetic/cosmetic purposes (laser epilation, tattoo removal, botox, dermapen, cold lipolysis), 8.1% were for therapeutic purposes (bone setter intervention, tooth extraction/prosthesis, intramuscular injection, cupping pull) was found. It was found that 87.1% of the medical interventions were performed in beauty salons, 12.9% in hairdressers, home, medical markets, pharmacies and dental clinics.
CONCLUSIONS: All over the world and in our country, serious bodily and mental injuries occur in people after medical interventions by unauthorized persons. Therefore, it is necessary to see this situation as an important problem, and raise awareness in the society to make legal arrangements.
