Experts give damaging testimony against retired Carinthian doctor
Before the Klagenfurt Regional Court, a now-retired doctor from Carinthia must answer charges. He is accused of driving two patients to their deaths through questionable infusion treatments. Expert witnesses have seriously incriminated the physician during the ongoing trial.
The prosecution alleges that the man promised a 14-year-old girl with cancer a cure through infusion therapy. The child subsequently succumbed to the effects of the treatment. Another death connected with the doctor's practices is that of a tattooist, who suffered an allergic shock following an infusion and subsequently sustained a heart attack and a stroke.
The accused denies all charges against him. He shows no remorse and makes no confession. His defence lawyers argue that a direct causal link between the administered substances and the deaths cannot be established.
The trial sheds a disturbing light on so-called alternative treatments carried out by licensed doctors without sufficient medical evidence. The bereaved families of the deceased expect the proceedings to clarify the circumstances surrounding the deaths of their relatives.
