2353...Norway's Doctor Of The Year

Is Danish doctor Johanne Krogh who has taken her magic healing hands to Sweden.

The medical wizard, a surgeon, who lost the right to operate in Norway after 29 cases of malpractice, has been banned in Norway. But she has landed on her feet and is working unhindered at a hospital in northern Sweden, where managers were previously unaware of her error-strewn past.

NRK, the CBC of Norway were kind enough to left the management at Hudiksvall Hospital in on her lack of skill as a cutter.

The Norwegian patient insurance system has received 42 reports of malpractice pertaining to Dr. Krogh’s work, 29 of which have led to insurance pay-outs. Two cases are awaiting arbitration. The bill is 1.7 million CDN/13 million Norwegian shekels.

NPE decided to revoke Dr. Krogh’s orthopedic and surgical licenses after the first twenty reports of serious medical malpractice, which prevented her from performing surgery in the country.

But there was nothing to prevent her from working in neighbouring Sweden, where she is free to continue operating.

Makes you wonder if the same is happening in Our Home And Native Land.
