Shock in the hospital: Anaesthesist in suspicion - investigations are going!

In the Kirchdorf Clinic in Upper Austria, there are several questionable deaths at the center of investigations that affect an anesthetist. Two patients are said to have died under suspicious circumstances and the State Criminal Police Office has already been involved. As announced by the Upper Austria Health Holding (OÖG), the experienced doctor was deducted from duty, while the police ordered an autopsy of the body already cropped, such as Volksblatt.at reported.

After a routine morning meeting, irregularities were uncovered in the treatment of patients, which led to violent allegations. Jutta Oberweger, spokeswoman for the Upper Austria, confirmed that suspicions were discovered in intensive care medicine, which resulted in a written statement to the Steyr public prosecutor. According to Kurier.at , the anesthetist could possibly have given an overdose of strong medication-whether this has been negligent or willful currently investigated.

The clinic is under enormous pressure, while the authorities examine the circumstances of the inexplicable deaths. "It is a black day in our company's history," says Oberweger. The health organization confirmed its interest in fully clarifying the incidents and emphasized that they are willing to cooperate comprehensively with the investigative authorities.
