Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to selected problems concerning the regime of professional liability of doctors. Bearing in mind the specific nature of a doctor’s profession and often social ideas directed at it (which de facto does not remain indifferent from the point of view of the very essence of the aforementioned regime of liability), the considerations started with an empirical analysis, presenting social assessments towards people performing the said profession. Subsequently, reference was made to the regulations of the Act on Medical Chambers. The premises for professional liability of members of medical chambers, as well as normative indications governing the level of punishment imposed in the case of professional misconduct have been the subject of detailed consideration.
