Two experienced doctors at Karolinska University Hospital, Karin Pettersson and an unnamed surgeon, were controversially fired.

Both claimed unfair dismissal, excessive surveillance, and unethical investigative practices used by the hospital.

Pettersson was accused of sending personal emails during work hours, while the surgeon faced corruption allegations which were later dropped.

Their cases have sparked nationwide protests and raised concerns about the hospital’s internal policies and employee treatment.

The accusations have led to debates on workplace surveillance and the balance between order and privacy.
