Aging Anesthesiologist Faces the Grim Specter of Justice
Anesthesiologist Faces Judicial Proceedings over Patient's Case - Medical professional faces legal proceedings over patient's demise in anesthesia case
Here's the deal, a 78-year-old anesthesiologist is setting foot in Berlin Regional Court today at 9:00 AM. The reason? Allegedly killing a 59-year-old patient in 2020. He's pinched for bodily harm leading to death, but there's a catch; the court ain't ruling out a charge for attempted cover-up through omission either.
According to the spill, a lady was getting treated for back issues by an orthopedist in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The orthopedist summoned the defendant to knock her unconscious. You guessed it – our boy is accused of numerous errors. He's said to have overlooked her vital signs during the anesthesia, missing her respiratory and cardiac arrest for several minutes. Not cool. He also didn't fill in the attending physician or other docs about the treatment's history. Not the brightest move, huh?
After resuscitation, the lady slid into a coma and tragically passed away due to a lung infection at the end of April 2020. The trial is set for 13 days, wrapping up on July 17.
