February 25, 2026
A woman suffered a heart attack in the morning, but it was only diagnosed at night after she collapsed. Doctors failed to properly evaluate an ECG that showed signs of a heart attack. The Supreme Court ruled that medical negligence occurred and awarded €468,000 in damages. The patient experienced permanent heart damage of 30%-40% due to the delay in treatment. The clinic was required to pay for the damages, while the gastroenterologist was also found partially responsible.
