Far more than 1,000 German doctors with clean records found themselves confronted for the first time during the coronavirus pandemic with harsh legal sanctions such as heavy financial penalties, loss of professional licenses, and even imprisonment. At the heart of the matter is the threat to medical ethics. The conflict between medical discretion and the state's will to enforce its authority raises ethical questions that extend far beyond the scope of the pandemic.

This book is a document of recent contemporary history. Based on personal interviews, original documents, and court records, Dr. Gerburg Weiß uses the example of over 50 medical professionals to paint a fact-based picture of the legal and political harshness with which doctors have been and continue to be treated during the coronavirus years.

The second edition sheds light on the treatment of doctors in Europe and draws a shocking conclusion: Germany has written a unique, inhumane chapter in medical history. This book is a bright spot for refreshing the ethical principles in medicine and society.

Softcover, A5 in high-quality, strong color printing with numerous photos and tables about the situations and doctors affected.
