Several patients who underwent surgery by a spine surgeon have reported him to the Swedish Health and Social Care Inspectorate, known as Ivo. The reports concern the surgeon's time at the hospital in Ängelholm. Some patients have also sought compensation from the insurance company Löf.
One patient, Annica Gustafsson, was reportedly offered 600 kronor. According to reports, several patients were mistreated during the surgeon's tenure. Despite colleagues raising alarms and an external investigator pointing out deficiencies, the surgeon was reportedly allowed to continue operating for a full year.
