在日本，医疗事故的民事诉讼数量逐渐增加。媒体对医疗事故的情绪化报道放大了人们对医生的不信任。自2002年以来，警方更加积极地参与，因医疗事故而对医生提起刑事诉讼的数量有所增加。对诉讼和逮捕的恐惧使医生们士气低落。如果要改善医患关系，与各种医疗做法相关的风险沟通被认为是至关重要的。此外，需要重新考虑对医疗事务的法律的干预。
The number of civil lawsuits in Japan concerning medical accidents has been increasing gradually. Emotional reports in the media about medical accidents have amplified people’s distrust of physicians. Since 2002, the police have been more actively involved, and the number of criminal prosecutions against physicians as a result of medical accidents has increased. Fear of litigation and arrest has demoralized physicians. Communication of the risks associated with various medical practices is considered vital if physician–patient relationships are to be improved. Moreover, there needs to be a reconsideration of legal interventions into medical affairs.
