A healthcare center in Gothenburg has filed a Lex Maria report after a patient was exposed to a serious medical injury, writes the news agency Siren.

During a visit to the health center in 2020, the man told about problems with the foreskin. Due to several mistakes in healthcare, the man was only examined for the problem three years later. Among other things, a referral to a urologist’s office was forgotten.

At the time when the man received his examination, the doctor immediately suspected that the man had cancer and judged that his penis needed to be amputated.

In the care center’s Lex Maria notification to the Health and Care Inspectorate, it is stated that the referral was initially sent to the wrong person. Later, the referral was also not sent through the standardized fast track that is supposed to speed up care for patients suspected of having cancer.

A fight must have taken place in the apartment. The police have arrested four people.

Now they are investigating whether the man was thrown through the window.

A 70-year-old woman is convicted of animal cruelty after leaving two dogs alone in a car in the sun with the windows closed, writes Sydsvenskan.

On a sunny day in May last year, a person walked past the parked car in a residential area in Arlöv. There were two barking dogs in the car, and according to the person, they appeared to be affected by the heat.

The police were called to the scene and immediately made the assessment that they needed to break the window pane to save the dogs.

When the case was brought up in Malmö district court, the county veterinarian testified that the heat in the car that day could have caused tissue and organ damage to the dogs. In the worst case, a dog can die in such circumstances.

The woman admits that the dogs did not have access to water and that she forgot to open the car window, but denies that she intended to harm the animals. She is sentenced to animal cruelty and must pay daily fines worth SEK 5,200.
