RALUCA NANU

I have been a lawyer in the Bucharest Bar since 2001, specializing both in legal advice and on court representation.

For 10 years the main specialty has been medical law, offering consulting and legal assistance for hospitals or public health directions, as well as for medical staff (doctors and nurses).

One of the main branches of medical law is medical staff's responsibility for malpractice, a field that is more than a specialty for me - it is passion. If the field of tortious liability is one of the largest in law, medical staff's liability for malpractice is of extraordinary complexity. It is this complexity that makes it as difficult as it is attractive. In all these years, I have successfully defended many doctors in the court from various fields of medicine, accused of malpractice.  From the discussions I had with them, I noticed that if they had previously had information about medical liability, they would have been much calmer at all stages of the trials. This made me want to take courses for doctors/nurses.

The continuous evolution of this field also attracted me to research. In recent years there has been a lot of talk about artificial intelligence in medicine.  How does it help us? How far should it go? Where should it stop? Under what circumstances a doctor who uses medical devices with artificial intelligence is responsible or is relieved of liability? There are questions that both the legal and the medical world are still looking for answers to.

In order to help medical staff, I am writing a book where I try to develop the subject of liability both in civil and criminal law not with many legal terms, but using common language.
