Woman unlawfully practised veterinary medicine in District XI
According to a police.hu report, on 3 November, officers from the District XI Police Headquarters conducted an inspection at a district veterinary surgery following a citizen's report. They established that the woman working there had not had her foreign diploma recognised in Hungary, and therefore could not have legally practised veterinary medicine in the country.
On the day of the inspection, the woman administered sedative injections to two dogs and then performed a tooth scaling procedure. According to her account, she had previously carried out surgical procedures. Treatment documents found in the surgery also listed her name as a veterinarian.
Police brought the woman in for questioning, and proceedings were initiated against her for the misdemeanour of attempted animal cruelty and the misdemeanour of fraud.
The District XI Police Headquarters and the Animal Health Department of the Pest County Government Office are investigating the circumstances of the case, including how many animals the woman may have unlawfully treated previously.
