Following the last issue, we summarized the major medical judgments in 2018. Especially, efforts have been made to introduce as many judgments as they relate to the obligation to explain. This is because the limits of the court's judgments were so diverse that it was unknown. Regarding the extent of damages, attention should also be paid to cases where the cost of care is recognized as a large amount, and cases where the memorandum is effective for the increased cost of treatment. The rulings related to the payment and deduction of medical expenses were the most discussed, although the description was small. The case of multi-institutional operation of medical institutions is an interim decision, but it is a case of interest in the medical community, and regarding uninsured medical expenses, cases of discretionary abuse have been reduced compared to the past, but are still significant.
