Gaziantep nurses sentenced for fatal medical error
A court in Gaziantep has sentenced two nurses for the death of Abdurrezzak Baysal, who died three years ago while receiving treatment at the Özel Bossan Hospital following a traffic accident.
Following a detailed autopsy that confirmed the cause of death was an injection, the court found the defendants guilty of murder with probable intent. Nurse Aslı E. received a life sentence, while nurse Mustafa Ç. was sentenced to 25 years in prison after a reduction for good behavior. The court also ordered the immediate arrest of the defendants.
The incident reportedly occurred in the intensive care unit after a dispute between a nurse and Baysal, resulting in the administration of a muscle relaxant intended for another patient. The victim's family and legal representatives stated that the verdict confirms the incident was not a matter of simple negligence or accident, but a more serious criminal act.
