Abuse of process-this is the “use of the law against the Law” [5]. “The letters of the law is used against its goals and spirit”[5]. Numerous legislation are adopted in order to better ensure the rights of a patient. A variety of authorities supervise it. However, the complexity of the legislative and the great number of regulatory institutions creates a lot of opportunities for abuse of the law. It is , first of all, the opportunity for a party to “play for time”, when the outcome of the case seems to be undesirable for this party it misu- ses the law to postpone the final conclusion of the court. Second, the law is abused to exhaust the opponent, to cause him to spend a great deal of money and time and this way to urge him to refuse persecuting his just aims. Third, the law can be misused to “punish” the opponent for his pursuit of the truth in the case. Most of agencies proceeding the case duplicate the same supervisory body to hear the case, neither one of which is able to take the final conclusion.The case presented in this article the typical traits of the abuse are outlined. They are, first, the obvious groundlessness of the patient‘s complaint. The patient complains of side effects of the drug. He was worned on this side effect, this drug was used only after more save ones probed to be ineffective. medicinal product in respect of which it was notified, and which has been used only where there are other inefficiency. Second, the complaint consistently pass a number of identical checks, all accessing the same conclusions. Third,a myriad of health-care workers were involved into this case distracting them from their main duties.

When talking about responsibility in health care, first of all, it refers to the responsibility of health care institutions and health care workers, in regards to the harm they have caused their patients through malpractice, as well as to the insurance against liability of health care workers for any mistakes in their work. An equally important area of responsibility is responsibilities of patients for their actions or omissions. In the paper, the author has classified these through four segments: patient responsibility for their health; patient responsibility to other patients; patient responsibility to healthcare professionals; and patient responsibility to the community. Patients’ rights in the Republic of Croatia are regulated by the Law on the Protection of Patients' Rights and the Law on Health Care, in a way, in which they prescribe only the rights of patients and, above all, the obligations and responsibilities of patients. Therefore, house rules of hospitals are the only regulations that systematically regulate patients' obligations and responsibilities, most of all or only those who are hospitalized in stationary healthcare institution.

When human beings are targeted as a class with adverse consequences, whether personally or professionally, it amounts to the victimisation of that class. During the ongoing pandemic, every individual, every class, or even every state has suffered so much. One class that has tried to save us from the pandemic and yet have been the targets of violent attacks, stigmatisation, trauma, and even social exclusion, is that of health care workers. The paper examines the extent of their victimisation and the law or policies enacted to rescue them. The major conclusions are that the scarcity of the facilities and the uncertainties of the disease created anxiety amongst people, and they targeted nurses and also doctors and many of the attacks went violent. Not only were the health care workers victimised by the public, but they also had to suffer at the hands of the administration.
