While tangential to the main story, I'd be interested in learning why they took the patient to a hospital in a different city. There are multiple hospitals with emergency rooms in Düsseldorf (I grew up there). Wouldn't it have been better for the patient to be taken to one of these, even if they lack the quality of care (in terms of number of different specialists on call) compared to the university hospital?
