The Community of Madrid redoubles its attacks on the surgeon who denounced waiting lists: “He himself manipulated them to work less”
The councilor accuses him of slashing the tires of her service chief's car, although that incident was investigated and filed away.
The Madrid Community government has accused a surgeon of manipulating waiting lists at Ramón y Cajal hospital. The surgeon, a hospital employee, allegedly altered the severity of 57 patients' cases to reduce their own workload and operate on less complex cases. According to Health Councillor Fátima Matute, the hospital's management detected the irregularity and issued a written warning to the surgeon. The surgeon's claims of manipulation were initially backed by three other specialists.
