Scandal in Stendal: Medical officer is said to have illegally carried out post-mortem examinations!
In the Stendal district, a former medical officer is at the center of serious allegations. Iris S. is accused of having carried out post mortem examinations in the Stendal crematorium for years without the necessary authorization. District Administrator Patrick Puhlmann (SPD) explains that these allegations were made after months of intensive research. Proceedings before the Magdeburg Administrative Court are already being planned, although the date for this has not yet been set. The district administrator announced that he would have the matter investigated criminally and made serious allegations against the medical officer, who has not yet commented on the allegations, reports MDR.
It is assumed that Iris S. regularly carried out postmortem examinations during her part-time work, which are required by law to identify possible homicides before cremation. This is an extremely delicate matter, because without the necessary advanced training in pathology for forensic medicine, such activity is illegal. According to Puhlmann, one of these post-mortem examinations might only last 30 seconds, whereas the normal process takes between 20 and 30 minutes. If that is the case, Iris S. has shown significant disregard for local laws. Tag24 also refers to this.
The allegations in detail
The conflict between District Administrator Puhlmann and Iris S. has been simmering for a long time. The district administrator accuses the former medical officer of having issued orders to herself and of having lied to the city council several times. Proof of compliance with your approved working hours for secondary activities will also be checked. Iris S. has now given up her job in Stendal and is now working in the Börde district, which gives Puhlmann the impression that she wanted to escape responsibility for her actions.
In the medical world, carrying out post-mortem examinations is subject to strict guidelines. For example, a comprehensive examination of the body and the circumstances of death must be carried out. This includes a systematic analysis of all signs of the corpse and the general situation in the post mortem, which must be recorded in a detailed protocol. The Ärzteblatt takes such standards into account when carrying out post-mortem examinations.
What's next?
The negotiations before the administrative court could be groundbreaking for the outcome of the case. The pressing questions that arise here are complex: What legal consequences does Iris S. face? And how will the public debate about such allegations continue in the region? The district administrator has clear expectations and the public is eagerly awaiting how the matter will develop.
