Death at the alcohol emergency doctor

“I don’t want my dad to have died in vain!”

The alcoholic emergency doctor was fined 600 euros at the trial after an 83-year-old patient died in his hands. The photo was taken by his son Perica, who not only mourns, but also demands consequences.(Bild: Kerstin Wassermann, zVg, Krone KREATIV)

An 83-year-old died during an ambulance transport by an Austrian rescue organization. The emergency doctor responsible, who had a blood alcohol level of 2.2 per mille after botched resuscitation measures, was sentenced to a fine at Villach District Court. What does the victim's son say about the verdict?

An emergency doctor is drunk as a skunk in an ambulance, his patient dies - the fact that the district court in Villach in Carinthia "only" imposed a fine, as reported, causes emotions to boil over: "A human life is not worth more than 600 euros!" is denounced on krone.at. And there is also talk of "gods in white who can do anything".

Are the accusations true?
