(Hürriyet Newspaper, 26 June 2024)
























"Swan Fake" - a new ballet in Bolu.

Orthopedic doctors at İzzet Baysal State Hospital and Baysal Physical
Therapy and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, both in
Bolu, wrote prescriptions for medicines offered on the market by a
drug company represented by T.Ş. (42) and reaped half the cost of 
the medicines' price. 

Some doctors would collect the labels of their patients' medicines and
send them to T.Ş. by means of WhatsApp, whereas another doctor sent
T.Ş. emojis of swans (!) to indicate the number of prescriptions he had 
written. 

But T.Ş. wasn't happy with this arrangement and filed a complaint 
against the doctors with the Health Ministry on 5 June, naming doctors
U.G., H.K., R.Ö. and M.T.  An investigation has begun. 

In his statement to the Health Ministry, T.Ş. said that "I would meet 
with physical therapy doctors twice a week and the orthopedists 
once every ten days over the past two or three years, giving them 
each half of the money for each prescription.  They sent me messages 
in this regard on WhatsApp.  Dr. R.Ö. would send me swan emojis to 
represent each prescription he'd written."
