The Consequences of a Selfie: Anaesthetist Facing Job Loss
An anaesthetist who took a selfie during a rescue intervention is now facing severe consequences that could result in the loss of his job. The incident, which occurred during an accident in the spring, was captured on video, revealing the doctor’s inappropriate actions.
Video Evidence Reveals Shocking Behavior
The video, obtained by RTL, shows the rescue scene in Crauthem at the end of March. While his colleagues were actively working on the damaged car, the emergency doctor was seen waiting idly to intervene. During this downtime, he took a quick selfie, displaying a lack of professionalism and disregard for the seriousness of the situation.
Disciplinary Procedure Initiated
Paul Schroeder, the general director of the Grand Ducal Fire and Rescue Corps (CGDIS), took immediate action by launching a disciplinary procedure against the anaesthetist. In June, the doctor was provisionally dismissed from his emergency practices as a result of his actions, as confirmed by CGDIS in response to RTL’s inquiry.
Decision Pending from Disciplinary Council
Currently, the CGDIS disciplinary council is reviewing the case to determine if the doctor violated internal regulations of the Fire and Rescue corps. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, disciplinary punishment, including termination of his contract, may be imposed. The possibility of pressing charges at the Collège Médical remains unclear at this time.
Conclusion
The incident involving the anaesthetist’s inappropriate selfie during a rescue intervention has sparked a disciplinary procedure that could have serious consequences for his career. The outcome of the investigation by the CGDIS disciplinary council will determine the doctor’s fate, underscoring the importance of professionalism and respect in emergency situations.
