Crimes and criminal offenses committed in the medical sphere are studied. It isestablished that depending on the method of the fixing socially dangerousconsequences of medical offenses in the structure of a criminal offense, all theseconsequences can be classified into three groups. The first group includes sociallydangerous consequences, which are enshrined in formally defined concepts. It shouldinclude: "infection of a person with human immunodeficiency virus or otherincurable infectious disease dangerous to human life" (Part 1 of Article 131), "long-term health disorder of the victim" (Part 2 of Article 142). The second group isformed by socially dangerous consequences, which are fixed by evaluative concepts. We are talking about such consequences as "creating a danger to life or health" (Part1 of Article 142) and "severe consequences" in Art. 138, part 1 of Art. 139, part 1 ofArt. 140 and Art. 145. The third group is combined, where one socially dangerousconsequence combines harm fixed by formally defined concepts and harm fixed byevaluative concepts.. These include: "death of the ill person or other seriousconsequences" (Part 2 of Article 139), "death of the patient or other seriousconsequences" (Article 141).
It is proved that the use of the evaluation concept - "serious consequences" inmedical offenses, is an objective necessity that adequately reflects the specifics of thedamage caused to the object of criminal protection. These include death, suicide, serious or moderate bodily injury, human immunodeficiency virus infection or otherincurable infectious disease dangerous to human life, the internal content of which ineach case will depend on the characteristics of a particular norm and the specificcircumstances of the case.
