In Mainz, a doctor made an almost incomprehensible decision during an operation. Instead of doctors, he asked a cleaning lady for help.

The cleaner supported the surgeon in various ways. She held the patient's leg and also handed a swab. The patient was not harmed. The employment relationship with the physician had now been terminated after an employment law procedure. The Ministry of Science and Health of Rhineland-Palatinate called the incident very regrettable, it must not be repeated.
