Criticized doctor diagnosed healthy children with heart disease

New revelations are emerging about the criticized cardiologist who diagnosed healthy children with heart disease. DN writes that healthy children were declared sick, and P4 Jönköping reports that the hospital management concealed that an infant who died may have been treated incorrectly.

P4 Jönköping has revealed that 78 children were declared healthy by the now-suspended doctor between 2018 and 2022 despite having heart disease. Now DN reveals that at least a dozen other families whose children were cared for by the doctor in another region have been told that their children have serious congenital heart disease despite being healthy.

The same doctor may also have caused the death of an infant through malpractice. P4 Jönköping reports, citing sources, that the management of the children's clinic in Jönköping County kept this secret from the child's family. The family was not informed until a year later.

The managers in charge declined to be interviewed.
