A neurosurgeon in Austria has been arrested after allegedly allowing her 12-year-old daughter to use a surgical drill during a brain operation on a 33-year-old patient suffering from a traumatic head injury.

According to Mirror, prosecutors say the surgeon — a trainee neurosurgeon — brought her daughter into the operating room and allowed her to participate in the procedure.

According to prosecutor Julia Steiner, the doctor handed the drill to her daughter near the end of the operation, allowing her to make a hole in the patient’s skull for a probe.
