A neurosurgeon is facing a criminal investigation after allowing her teenage daughter to drill into a patient’s skull during surgery
The medic, whose identity was not disclosed, was employed at University Hospital Graz in Austria and reportedly guided her 13-year-old daughter step-by-step through the procedure in January.
She allegedly went as far as letting her daughter drill into the skull of 33-year-old Gregor R., who required emergency surgery following a head injury from a forest accident.
Graz Public Prosecutor Hansjoerg Bacher confirmed that both the neurosurgeon and a second doctor were swiftly dismissed from the hospital following the incident.
Bacher also confirmed that the two, along with five others involved in the emergency surgery, are now under investigation for serious bodily harm.
He said: ‘We are currently still waiting for the final report from the criminal investigation department.’
The patient only learned the truth about his surgery when the police revealed the details afterwards. He is reportedly still dealing with the aftereffects of the accident.
His lawyer, Peter Freiberger, said he plans to pursue legal action against everyone involved and seek compensation if needed.
