This study is devoted to the problem of the representation of the myth about medical errors, which are associat-ed with the subjectivity of moral and ethical judgments and the lack of mechanisms to explain the emerging problems in treatment. The purpose of the study is to describe the value and worldview representations about medical errors that exist in our linguocultural society. The stated goal defines the objectives of the research: to describe the typology of the myth about medical errors; analyze linguistic ways of the representation of the myth about medical errors. The methodology of the research is based on the works of foreign and Russian sci-entists in the field of study of the notions “myth” and “medical error”. The definitions of the notions “medical myth” and “medical error” are given. A medical myth is understood as a form of expression, actualization of the results of the emotional and axiological mastering of the world, the combination of material and spiritual condi-tions of a doctor’s activity in one of the sign systems. A medical error is determined as a failure to perform planned actions aimed at achieving a specific goal of therapy or the wrong choice of a treatment method. The popular science work “When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error” by Danielle Ofri, which analyzes the causes of medical errors and the impact, which they provide on patients, their families, doctors, nurses and other caregivers served as the material for the research. The priority research methods of the myth about medi-cal errors are the cultural analysis, the descriptive and analytical contextual method and the method of contin-uous sampling. It is concluded that the myth about medical errors embodies a significant value for the repre-sentatives of the linguoculture and has an axiological component. The results of the study allowed us to propose a typology of myth about medical errors, which systematizes the myths about medical errors that determine the value attitude of a doctor to various components of medical activity. The analysis shows that the myth about medical errors has an axiological component and is represented by linguistic means such as implicit compara-tive constructions, metaphorical models and precedent phenomena.
