A Doctor in Austria was fined after amputating a patient’s leg incorrectly.
A female surgeon severed the elderly patient’s right leg instead of his left, and the mistake was only noticed two days later in a terrible episode that occurred in May 2021.
The 43-year-old was found guilty of gross negligence and fined €2,700 (£2,296) on Wednesday, December 1.
The court also awarded €5,000 in damages to the patient’s widow, who died before the case went to court.
