73-year-old Christer Ericsson sought help at a health center in Enköping with acute and severe headaches.
He then had to see a doctor who sent him home without any neurological examination.
The next day, Christer went to the emergency room, where it was established that he had suffered a brain haemorrhage and needed immediate surgery.
- It is clear that I was pissed then quite frankly.
It was pure coincidence that I survived, he says today, six years later.
Criticized by IVO
The incident was reported to the Swedish Health and Care Inspectorate (IVO), which chose to criticize the doctor.
According to Christer Ericsson, the doctor stated that he had specialist competence - but that was not true.
- That he pretended to be a specialist in neurology, I think it's most outrageous.
"Serious shortcomings"
IVO's decision states that the doctor had to leave the health center prematurely due to "serious deficiencies".
He himself states to IVO that he "performed the examinations that were conditioned by the patient's situation" and did not consider himself to have failed in the case.
However, the decision from IVO is only one in a series of occasions in which the doctor in question has received criticism.
But despite that, he is now permanently employed as an ST doctor at the University Hospital in Uppsala.
- It's right to hell.
I would not want him as my doctor under the conditions that prevailed in 2015, says Christer Ericsson.
