A military doctor is appearing before the Thessaloniki Military Court regarding allegations of a delayed cancer diagnosis. The case concerns a 57-year-old retired police officer who underwent surgery for appendicitis at the 424 Military Hospital in December 2002. While a biopsy was conducted, the patient was reportedly not informed of the malignancy until a year later, contributing to the progression of the disease and the patient's death in March 2006. The surgeon faces charges of bodily harm through negligence, though prosecutors are seeking to upgrade this to manslaughter through negligence. Additionally, the former director of the 424 hospital has been summoned to trial on manslaughter charges for allegedly failing to ensure a physician was available to review biopsy results. The court is expected to determine the legal progression of the case.
