Process start in Kassel: Ferry anesthetist in court!

On March 10, 2025, a new trial against a 54-year-old woman begins before the district court of Kassel, who had been an anesthetic doctor for years. This defendant is suspected of causing the death of three patients through their treatment errors. The court is convinced that their wrong activity has severely damaged other people. The negotiation starts on Monday at 9:00 a.m., and seven more appointments are scheduled until April 30th.

The men and women in the courtroom have serious allegations against the accused, who hired a fake license certificate at a clinic in Fritzlar. In May 2022, she was sentenced to lifelong prison for triple murder and attempted murder in ten cases. The court found the special severity of the guilt. But the accused, who misused the trust of her patients with her activity, made a revision against the judgment.

new negotiation after BGH decision

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) took part in the decision because the killing facility was not sufficiently justified. As a result, the 10th large criminal chamber of the regional court has to negotiate the case to clarify the open questions and to get to the bottom of whether the doctor dealt with intent. The new negotiation opens up another chance to clarify the incidents that affect many people in the region.

The tragedy about the wrong anesthetic doctor raises bigger questions. It shows how essential the understanding of treatment errors and the rights of affected patients are. Information of the Federal Ministry of Health clarify that in the event of a suspicion of treatment errors, those affected have a need for a clarifying conversation with the responsible doctors. Contact persons are often also available in the hospital to clarify symptoms.

As a rule, patients can also contact complaint management of the hospital in question. If treatment errors are suspected, the health insurance company also offers itself as a useful contact, since it provides support in cases of damage from treatment errors. The Ministry points out that the medical profession has set up expert commissions and arbitration boards to provide support in clarifying suspected cases.

The uncertainty according to the fall of the wrong doctor in Kassel remains with many hospitals and patients. The effects of such incidents can be far -reaching, both for the affected patients as well as for the trusting relationship between doctors and their patients.
