Jan. 25 (UPI) —<\/span> A French surgeon is facing legal action and condemnation after auctioning an X-ray of a gunshot wound from a victim of the 2015 massacre at the Bataclan theater in Paris where 90 people were killed.<\/p>\n

The surgeon promoted the sale of the X-ray in the form of a non-fungible token on the marketplace called OpenSea. The surgeon has been identified as Emmanuel Masmejean, an orthopedic surgeon at the European Hospital Georges Pompidou in southwest Paris.\n<\/p>\n

Martin Hirsch, who manages Paris’ public hospitals, called the incident “disgraceful,” in a tweet in French, as translated by Insider, saying, “This act is contrary to sound professional practice, puts medical secrecy in danger, and goes against the values of AP-HP (Paris hospitals) and public service.”<\/p>\n

Masmejean is facing a criminal and professional complaint after the NFT post. As part of the description included with the post, he wrote:<\/p>\n

“Among the patients, I did personally operate on five women, including this case. This young patient, who lost her boyfriend in this attack, had an open fracture of the left forearm with a remaining Kalashnikov bullet in the soft tissue.”<\/p>\n

Twenty men linked to the coordinated terrorist attacks in France that killed 130 and left 368 others injured went on trial in September. The proceedings are ongoing.\n<\/p>\n
