Medicii acuzați ca au implantat la pacienți stimulatoare cardiace extrase de la cadavre, trimiși în judecată • Newsweek România

Two doctors are facing trial for allegedly implanting cardiac devices taken from corpses into 185 patients without proper consent. Investigators claim one doctor operated for four years, using devices of unknown origin, violating legal standards. The primary physician is charged with 185 counts of abuse of office and bribery, while a second doctor is accused of complicity in 24 instances. The actions reportedly caused over 2 million lei in damages and endangered patient health. Consent forms were allegedly altered post-signature, and some procedures lacked medical justification. The case highlights serious ethical violations in medical practice.
