Decision on professional ban for “pendulum doctor”

How alternative can alternative medicine be? Is it still acceptable for a recognized specialist to "pendulum" tumours in his practice or charge money for controversial alchemical elixirs? Following allegations against a doctor, the state of Carinthia has investigated whether there is imminent danger. The expert opinion is now available.

Long waiting times, too few doctors - medical care in Austria has been under scrutiny for months. Now there are also questions about quality assurance. A doctor in Carinthia has allegedly been working with very unusual treatment methods for many years, which could now suddenly lead to him being banned from the profession.
