Abstract

The legal relationship between doctors and patients always employs communication as a means to reach a mutual acceptance and understanding of each party. However, miscommunication more often than not happens in that legal relationship, thus producing disputes between doctors and patients. The problem raised in this study is how miscommunication between doctors and patients in medical services can cause medical disputes. The study utilized sociolegal research as its research method, with the location of the research being done in Semarang. The results of the study reveal that miscommunication between doctors and patients can be a cause of disputes due to the distinct gap between expectations and the reality received by patients. This distinctive gap could emerge when there are differences in culture and language between doctors and patients. Therefore, the gap caused by miscommunication is one of the most frequent causes of disputes between doctors and patients in medical services.
