[Details of a denounced physician (E.N.T.) suspected of bodily injury, and the following expert judgement (author's transl)].
An otologist was denounced and the patient's case history was confiscated because after tonsillectomy an absecess and a thrombosis of the vena jugularis interna had developed. The procedure and the medical aspect how at first being judged by the lawyer and the public prosecutor are described. On the base of the given medical opinion the court quashed proceedings. Because of the growing number of denouncements this casuistic paper ends with four guiding principles to protect against unjustified medicolegal blame.
