A 67-year-old gynecologist in Thessaloniki has been sentenced to 30 months in prison, suspended, for the negligent death of a 47-year-old patient following a hysterectomy in March 2017. The Mid-level Appeals Court reduced the penalty by six months, recognizing mitigating circumstances. The patient experienced severe complications post-surgery, leading to a heart failure after a second operation. During the trial, the doctor denied responsibility, claiming he was not informed of the patient’s deteriorating condition. The prosecution emphasized a breach of medical ethics, holding him accountable for the tragic outcome.
