Doctor found guilty of gross negligence after marking wrong leg of 82-year-old man for operation
An Austrian court has fined a surgeon for amputating the wrong leg of an elderly patient.
The 43-year-old surgeon said her actions were due to “human error”, but the judge found her guilty of gross negligence and fined her €2,700 ($3,060), with half the amount suspended, a spokesperson for the tribunal in the northern city of Linz said on Wednesday.
