Patient dies under the care of intoxicated doctor in Krakow yesterday

Yesterday in Krakow a drunk doctor directed a patient to a drunk tank after diagnosing him to be intoxicated. The patient died. Before that incident, the 43-year-old patient was found lying near a tram stop by pedestrians who called an ambulance. "According to the examinations, the patient was not drunk, but ill," said the head of the Drunk Tank in Krakow Elzbieta Domasiewicz-Gudzowska. The doctor maintains that he had only two beers; however, blood tests showed he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.79. The doctor has already been dismissed while the police and the prosecutor have been waiting for the autopsy results. (Zycie, page 3) A.Z.
