A young woman died in Austria following a botched lip injection. Doctors did not realize how serious the 28-year-old’s condition was and sent her home several times. Now a lawyer is fighting for the rights of the widower and his nine-year-old daughter.
The family describes shocking details to the “Kronen Zeitung”: The patient struggled with severe headaches following the cosmetic procedure. But despite noticeably large lymph nodes, she was repeatedly sent home, even following several hospital visits.
Dilber’s husband and her mother begged the doctors more than once to admit the 28-year-old to hospital. During a stay in the hospital, the mother pointed out her daughter’s increased inflammation levels. A doctor then shouted: “Are you the doctor or am I the doctor? I’m making the diagnosis here.”
The family’s lawyer, Sascha Flatz, demands grief compensation in a letter of demand to the Vienna Health Association. He also demands that the association cover the funeral costs as well as bridging money for the widower and daughter. If the health association does not comply with this, it plans to file a lawsuit “through civil law”.
Before further steps can be taken, the results of the autopsy must be awaited. This process might take up to eight weeks, said Dilber’s mother. She and widower Murat are sure: “If treated correctly, Dilber would still be alive one hundred percent.”
The health association confirmed to the “Krone” that the patient had visited the clinic several times. The 28-year-old was finally admitted to hospital on October 17th. She died just two days later.
