Russia’s Investigative Committee has opened a criminal investigation against an extortionist doctor who refused to take a suffocated teenager to hospital.

According to “360”, the doctor demanded 100,000 rubles for transporting a 14-year-old boy with bilateral pneumonia from a hospital in the Moscow region to a medical institution in Moscow, although the operator announced the transportation cost in the amount of 30 thousand.

As a result, according to the teen’s father’s account, the extortionist doctor left the suffocated young man and his mother in a car with the stove off and the doors open.

According to the information received, the young man was very cold, since that day the temperature outside was -8 degrees.

The teenager was then taken to hospital by a second ambulance, where doctors managed to save the young man’s life. At the moment, the doctors continue to fight for the boy’s life and the RF IC has opened a criminal case against the extortionist doctor.
