Charges After Operation Involving Minor Daughter of Doctor in Graz
A neurosurgeon and another involved surgeon could soon be charged at the Graz-East District Court to answer for bodily harm. As reported by the "Kleine Zeitung" and the "Kronen Zeitung" on Tuesday, a charge is said to be pending. However, it is still on its way to the parties involved in the proceedings. The Graz public prosecutor's office has not confirmed this due to the need to protect the rights of the parties.
Graz Doctor Dismissed by KAGes After Incident
The surgeon is said to have taken her only twelve-year-old daughter into an operating room at LKH Graz in January 2024, when a 33-year-old man from Eastern Styria had to undergo emergency surgery following a forestry accident. The child allegedly, under her mother's instruction, drilled a hole in the farmer's head. According to media reports, investigations against the five other members of the surgical team have been dropped. According to the Styrian Hospital Association (KAGes), the operation went smoothly. The surgeon, who was dismissed by KAGes after the incident, had pursued legal action against her dismissal through civil law. However, she later reached an out-of-court settlement with KAGes. Investigations against KAGes are still ongoing, concerning corporate responsibility.
