Controversial: Styrian cosmetic surgeon returns despite scandals!

A Styrian cosmetic surgeon, which was convicted of serious assault in 2021, receives his job ban. This decision causes great sensation and concern, especially among women who were affected by his questionable interventions. Several patients report massive complications that they exposed themselves to this surgeon, which ultimately led to a professional ban in Austria. But despite these serious incidents, the doctor can now work again in his profession.

One of the most striking examples is the description of a affected woman who suffers from the serious consequences of unsuccessful liposuction. It reports on a dramatic health deterioration, which resulted in ten intestinal holes and forced it to almost 40 other operations. Today she lives without an abdominal blanket and needs special medical support, which illustrates the serious practical consequences of the doctor's misconduct.

Legal consequences for treatment errors

The possibilities of legal consequences for medical misconduct are diverse. According to information from Ärzteblatt, a treatment error can result in legal consequences for the attending doctor. This includes the potential payment of compensation and compensation for pain and suffering if a patient files an action. In addition, the misconduct has criminal relevance, which differs greatly depending on the intent or negligence.

The possible criminal consequences are serious and range from money or imprisonment to a new job ban. In the case of this cosmetic surgeon, it remains open which further criminal measures may threaten, in particular in view of the conviction that has already taken place. In addition to criminal consequences, status or professional measures such as the rest of the approval as a contract doctor or the withdrawal of the license to license can also follow.

Focus on patient protection

Despite all this legal framework, the case of cosmetic surgeons raises serious questions about patient protection. The finding that he can now resume his activity leads to a deep concern among the women concerned and questions the effectiveness of existing regulations. How safe can patients be in cosmetic interventions if such serious incidents do not lead to a permanent ban on profession?

The patient's trust in medical care and the security of medical interventions is now at stake. Open-Ended remains the question of which measures the responsible bodies will take to ensure that such misconduct cannot lead to the risk of patients again.
