Famous doctor based his bribes on patient's income

Fifty persons have already testified in the investigation conducted by the Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA). The testimonies reveal that the doctor conditioned the amount of the bribe on the wealth of the patient's family. A heart transplant cost from zl.1,500 to zl.70,000. "When he had a rich patient he squeezed him like a lemon," said one of the prosecutors. Miroslaw G. also undertook to perform operations in very difficult cases and the prosecutors are checking whether he knew that some patients would not survive, but operated regardless since he received additional renumeration for each surgery.
