Sweden Gets Norway's Worst Doctor

62-year-old Johanne Krogh lost her right to operate in Norway due to 29 cases of malpractice, so she did what any bumbling doctor would. She got a job in Sweden. Managers at her new hospital were apparently unaware of her infamous past. From the article: "In one case, she stormed out on a bleeding patient in the middle of a surgical procedure after losing her temper with a colleague in the operating theater. The incident necessitated two further corrective operations for the patient, who later died after a wound became infected. Also, several of her hip patients reported her to the authorities after emerging from the operating room with legs differing in length by up to four centimeters. Krogh’s errors have so far cost the Norwegian patient insurance system 13 million kronor ($1.7 million)."

No it is about a bug in the legal code could happen anywhere.

Or if she was put in jail for killing a patient by walking out mid-surgery, all would be right

Vast majority of 30-40 (depending on which of the two metrics below you choose) places beating the US handily (according to CIA World Factbook...) in life expectancy or infant mortality has socialized medicine. All the while US spends the most per capita on healthcare; not only far from the best, also very inneficient.

That will ride down.

That leg will ride down with wear.
