The prosecutor's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. The summary of the grounds for appeal prepared by the defendant on August 24, 2012, the medical examination and treatment record prepared by the defendant on August 24, 2012 does not contain the correct contents of the state and degree of the injury suffered by F, and does not contain any content of medical treatment. The medical examination records of September 19, 2012 do not contain any major symptoms, diagnosis result or diagnosis name, medical examination process, and diagnosis contents, and it is reasonable to view that it is not recorded in detail to the extent required under Article 22 of the Medical Service Act. However, the judgment of the court below acquitted the defendant on this part is erroneous
