EXCERPT: A 48-year-old woman, accused of causing four deaths
after faking her medical qualifications, has been arrested in Germany. The
woman also allegedly caused eight long-term injuries while working as an
assistant doctor at a hospital in Fritzlar in Schwalm-Eder district in the
center of the country, according to a statement from state prosecutors
published Oct. 31. Prosecutors confirmed the suspect is accused of manslaughter,
grievous bodily harm, fraud, document forgery, misuse of a title, and
practicing medicine without permission.
She allegedly used fake documents to get a job at the
hospital where she worked from November 2015 to August 2018, then continued to
practice there despite repeated errors, including the administration of
incorrect medication. Police executed a search warrant in January 2019 related
to employment fraud and later expanded their investigation.
The woman was arrested on Oct. 29 and remains in detention
as she presents a flight risk, according to prosecutors. Investigations are
ongoing to determine whether the woman was involved in further cases of
malpractice. Police will also investigate whether two doctors working in the
hospital at the time were in breach of duty.
