Introduction. Since January 1, 2012 a patient who suffered so-called medical damage has the right to choose between two alternative routes to compensate for medical damages, i.e. legal or extrajudicial. Aim. To present the consequences of the out-of-court compensation for medical damages for patients on the basis of existing legal acts and the literature. Materials and methods. The analysis of legal acts and literature regarding extrajudicial compensation. Conclusions. The provisions regulating the out-of-court medical compensation for patients are inconsistent and unclear. As a result of the application of the regulations in force by Provincial Commission for Adjudication of Medical Events, there are difficulties for the injured patients to receive compensation or redress. The analysis of legal acts and literature shows that only court proceedings are the most effective way to assert their rights for patients who have suffered so-called medical damage.

Introduction. Europe is the region with the greatest proportion of deaths (16%) attributable to tobacco smoking worldwide. Medical students and physicians should set an example of tobacco-smoking abstinence for their patients. Aim. The aim of the study was to compare opinions on behaviors and attitudes of Czech and Polish medical students about tobacco smoking and the position of a physician in anti-smoking counseling. Material and methods. The Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) was conducted among 707 medical students in Czech Republic in 2011 and among 1164 medical students in Poland. Results. Twety percent of polish and 25,7% of Czech medical students declared current tobacco smoking. Eighty-one percent in Poland and 60% in Czech Republic felt that physicians should be trained in smoking cessation techniques but only 27% of the medical students in Poland and 2,8% in Czech Republic , declared that such a course had been realized during the course of their education. Conclusion. Over a fifth of Polish students and a quarter of Czech students declared themselves as active smokers. It is worrying that about half of Polish students were exposed to environmental tobacco smoke, while only one-fifth of Czech students declared such exposure. Polish and Czech students agreed that the doctor will play an important role in the patient’s smoking cessation process and that physicians should give advice on quitting smoking.
