The three nurses, who were dismissed without notice, are said to have been verbally abusive towards patients and colleagues at the Convent Hospital of the Brothers of Mercy in Linz. However, the police and public prosecutor's office have not been called in for the time being. The "Krone" knows why.

The fact that three employees from the nursing department of the gynecology and obstetrics department at the Hospital of the Brothers of Mercy in Linz were dismissed without notice due to accusations of racism is causing a stir on internet forums and social media. In particular, there is speculation about the details of the trio's behavior that caused such harsh consequences under employment law.
