BGH to organ donation: Doctors responsible for poor education
expand All What in the case?

The Federal court of justice (BGH) had to decide on two cases. In the Public - the plaintiff Ralf Zietz. He uses the process to make the risks of organ living donation carefully.

In 2010, he donated his sick wife a kidney. While it was once better, felt Zietz suddenly worse. As he was after the SURGERY awake, he had been "extremely" surprised at how poorly it had gone, he told the court hearing in Karlsruhe, Germany in November.

Also, with time, he was not better. "In the morning when I get up, I'm still just as tired as in the evening. So I don't have the feeling to have really recovered." Only three to four hours he was reasonably able to work. "I feel at noon, between twelve and one o'clock, actually, as otherwise formerly, at eleven o'clock. My day is about to end."
