German Woman Celebrates Upcoming Liver Transplant By Bringing Vodka To Hospital
A nurse told a court in Göttingen, Lower Saxony, that she found the bottle of vodka in the patient’s bag at the University Hospital in Göttingen and poured the alcohol away, the Hamburger Abendblatt reported on Monday.
The patient admitted to drinking a bottle of vodka a day leading up to the operation, according to the nurse.
The allegations came out in the trial of the hospital’s former head of transplants, Aiman O. The 46-year-old allegedly manipulated medical files to help his patients receive faster transplants in at least 25 cases. He is charged with 11 cases of attempted manslaughter and three cases of grevious bodily harm.
