The Nuremberg doctor Joachim Ficker has reported a colleague from Hamburg.
According to him, the reason is false claims about the corona vaccination.
Nuremberg - Joachim Ficker, chief physician at the Nuremberg North Clinic, has had enough of false reports about the corona vaccination. The pulmonology professor has therefore now reported a colleague. "It's about a Hamburg doctor who writes to doctors nationwide and makes completely false claims about the vaccination," says Ficker in an interview with
nordbayern.de
. "He claims that many patients are harmed and that the doctors have to pay for it from their private assets," he continues. Because the doctor from Hamburg had only substantiated his theses with technically incorrect documents, Ficker filed a complaint against him with the responsible state medical association. The report says the proceedings are still ongoing.

Nuremberg doctor angry: Danger from conspiracy theories about corona vaccinations
"As doctors, we have a special responsibility and duty to guarantee, and this discredits our entire profession," emphasizes Ficker.
At the moment, every corona vaccination is important due to the overburdened hospitals.
Colleagues' conspiracy theories are therefore dangerous, he warns.
Ficker is sometimes ashamed of such colleagues.
“In the vast majority of cases, trust in the doctor is rightly high.
That is why it is very important that the State Medical Association pulls the rip cord in such a case, ”he
added
to
nordbayern.de
.
If a doctor speaks as a doctor, the information should be correct.
As a private person, everyone can think what they think is right.
Doctors throw around confused vaccination theories
According to Ficker, the Hamburg doctor is not an isolated case, which is also confirmed by the Medical District Association of Middle Franconia.
In an interview with
nordbayern.de
, he spoke of “several procedures”.
It is mainly about "mask certificates", which are not sufficiently justified.
So far, however, hardly anyone has been convicted, the report goes on to say.
The Bavarian Central Office for Combating Fraud and Corruption in the Health Care System (ZKG) is also aware of some cases.
"There are eleven cases pending, with six of which an initial suspicion was affirmed and an investigation was therefore initiated," said the authority on
nordbayern.de
.
