Madrid ataca al cirujano denunciante del Ramón y Cajal y reduce el escándalo a una rencilla entre médicos

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.
