Teen's Role in Surgery Sparks Outrage

Published: 2024-08-26

In a shocking revelation, a 13-year-old girl allegedly participated in a critical surgical procedure at Graz University Hospital, Austria.

The young girl, daughter of a neurosurgeon, is accused of drilling a hole into a patient's skull during an emergency operation.

The incident, which occurred in January 2024, involved a 33-year-old patient who had suffered a severe accident while working in a forest.

Despite the operation being reported as complication-free, the hospital has faced severe backlash.

Both the mother, who is a surgeon, and another specialist present during the surgery have been dismissed from their positions.

Legal actions are being considered by the patient's lawyer, Peter Freiberger, who has raised serious concerns about the incident.

The hospital has yet to confirm or deny the allegations, but the scandal has sparked widespread outrage and calls for accountability.
