Due to the climatic glue, a surgeon from Graz came to the clinic much too late and several operations had to be postponed – unpleasant for the patients. “Because they don’t know what they’re doing,” says the doctor.
“It’s a good thing you weren’t under anesthesia yet!” Graz surgeon Peter Panzenböck closed his angry Facebook post on Friday. Below are some comments that sound no less angry. The protests of the last generation this week are making waves: “Even a school friend who has lived in Hong Kong for 25 years has commented on it,” says Panzenböck in the interview with “Krone”.
What bothers him so much: “One of my patients, who was already on the operating table at exactly 8 o’clock, had to go back to bed!”
All operations postponed
The fact that the trauma surgeon got stuck in the middle of the Graz Glacis on Friday due to the traffic blockades by the activists, delayed all interventions by an hour and a half. “First I and a doctor colleague from Zurich were squeezed in there, then we were led around the back. That took a total of 45 minutes longer.”
unpleasant for patients
Otherwise, he only needs five minutes for the route, and the man from Graz does not normally cover it by car: “I just had to pick up this colleague with whom I had to stand at the operating table together.” later operated on, “but it is not pleasant for the patients because the nerves are already tense for such an operation”.
In addition, they already receive medication in preparation. Fortunately, the victim showed understanding, as did the surgeon himself: “It is clear that something has to be done about the climate crisis, but in a different way!” He also does not think harsher punishments are appropriate: “You have to communicate with the activists.”
“Because they don’t know what they’re doing”
According to their own statements, the climate protectors also offered on Friday that the rescue could happen – but the police did not take up this offer. But Panzenböck probably couldn’t have continued anyway. The surgeon therefore assumed the activists at the beginning of his posting: “Because they don’t know what they are doing.”
