Scandal about the official doctor: Court dismisses a lawsuit against corpse show!

A special dispute of a special kind runs through the offices in the district of Stendal. At the center of the conflict is the former official doctor Iris Schubert, who is complaining against the district of Stendal before the Magdeburg Administrative Court. Your goal: to recover the permission to carry out second funeral shows for the local crematorium. She had carried out these corpses for many years and, according to District Administrator Patrick Puhlmann, even achieved higher income than her civil servants. Puhlmann reports on irregularities and accused Schubert of having granted the approval for this secondary activity, which led to their criminal transfer to the district administration of the Bördekreis. A lawsuit against the dismissal of Schubert's application has now been accepted by the Naumburg Higher Administrative Court and at the same time the district itself sued to bring information about its secondary activity. This argument was also not without consequences; Schubert has appealed and is now waiting for a decision.

How did this conflict come about? The district administrator Patrick Puhlmann, who took up his office during the Corona pandemic, initially had close cooperation with the official doctor. But this soon suffered difficulties in communication with him. After a misleading presentation of death figures, Schubert received a muzzle and there was a complaint. Puhlmann accuses the medical officer of having carried out the corpses unauthorized for two decades and thus earned more money than in her main job. A criminal complaint against Schubert was hired by the Stendal public prosecutor, but the district administrator indicates that all allegations have not yet been fully examined. A procedure for clarifying business law aspects is pending, which may continue to put the circumstances between Schubert and Puhlmann to the test.

regulations and challenges at Leichenschaua

As part of the Saxony-Anhalt's funeral law, corpse shows are required by law. Every body must be examined by a doctor to determine death and its circumstances. Doctors who are involved in these procedures also have to meet strict regulations. So you are obliged to carry out the corpse show immediately and this must be done at the place where the body is located. If there are indications of non -natural death, the police are activated. In addition, special regulations must be observed to ensure that the cause of death is correctly determined and documented. These legal foundations are also the reason why the approval for corpse shows is so important - it guarantees both the legality and the traceability of these sensitive investigations.

But what does that mean for the district of Stendal? There is currently a regulatory gap here, since the district indicates that approval for the corpse show by trained doctors did not exist for a long time. Thus, the urgency of clarifying the case becomes clear, not only for Iris Schubert, who wants to go back to her work, but also for the proper execution of the body show throughout the district. The argument is not only carried to the judge's chair, but also affects essential health and legal issues of the citizens in the district.

The coming months could be decisive for how the situation will develop. Iris Schubert is combative and absolutely wants to return to her old profession. The district, on the other hand, has the intention of doing everything necessary to ensure transparency through the secondary activities. The public remains excited about what will follow.
