The Press Council found that claiming the surgeon performing the operation lacked an operating license for plastic and reconstructive surgery made the article inaccurate. The materials presented to the Press Council show that O\u00dc CBF Medical, operating under the name Christinas Clinic, has been issued an operating license, which among others allows the company to provide services in general day surgery, plastic day surgery as well as plastic and reconstructive surgery. The surgeon named in the article has been certified competent by the Estonian Association of Surgeons to function as a general surgeon and thereby is allowed to perform plastic surgery procedures, apart from the facial area.<\/p>\n<p>In the Press Council\u2019s opinion, the journalist should have checked the validity of the facts in the article from their original sources and should have given the other side an opportunity to present their views on the subject. Because it was in the patient\u2019s interests to publish information on her breast enhancement operation in a periodic journal, it was incorrect to omit the other side, the target of the accusations, from their right to make a statement of their own on the claims that due to the law the clinic could not have commented on the issue anyway. The Press Council found that the clinic could very well have commented on the issue especially considering that in the article the patient was being presented under a fake name with nothing more than publicised of her identity than her age and a few photographs of her breasts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eall.ee\/pressinoukogu\/uudised_2019\/27_11_2019.html\">https:\/\/www.eall.ee\/pressinoukogu\/uudised_2019\/27_11_2019.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ekspress.delfi.ee\/teateid-elust\/eesti-ekspress-rikkus-head-ajakirjandustava?id=88171349\">https:\/\/ekspress.delfi.ee\/teateid-elust\/eesti-ekspress-rikkus-head-ajakirjandustava?id=88171349<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our attorneys Monica Pihlak, Kirke Treial and Kalev Pihlak achieved a very significant outcome for the benefit of our client CBF Medical O\u00dc (Christinas Clinic).
