Scandal at the university hospital

Child in the operating theater: surgeon fights her dismissal

The girl who allegedly had her skull drilled open during an emergency operation in Graz was even younger than assumed. Her mother, the doctor, is now taking her case to the labor court, claiming that her dismissal was unjustified and did not take place on time.

The case uncovered by the "Steirerkrone" newspaper about the doctor who allegedly allowed her daughter to drill into the head of a seriously injured patient during an emergency operation at Graz Regional Hospital in January has entered the next round: the surgeon is now fighting her dismissal, claiming that it was not carried out on time.
