A primary physician from the Horn State Hospital in Lower Austria was dismissed after making an offensive statement regarding a patient with clinical obesity, saying that "only Auschwitz would help here." The comment was made during a meeting and generated a major scandal, being reported by colleagues who felt disturbed by his behavior.


An anonymous letter sent to the publication MeinBezirk detailed the incident and highlighted a toxic work environment, mentioning that the nurses refused to assist the doctor due to his attitude. The Lower Austria Health Agency confirmed the physician's dismissal after an internal investigation, emphasizing that such statements contradict the fundamental values of the institution. So far, there is no information about any potential legal consequences for the former doctor.
