Life

Gerhard Kletter was born in Vienna in 1942 to Leopold and Maria Kletter. After graduating from high school , he began studying medicine in 1962 and received his doctorate in 1969. He then embarked on a career as a pathologist . In 1973 he went to the Neurosurgical Clinic Zurich , in 1975 he returned to Vienna, where he was involved in the field of bypass technology in brain operations. Kletter's habilitation took place in 1978, in 1982 he took a position as senior physician in Basel , but returned to the University Clinic in Vienna a year later . In 1985 he received a professorship for neurosurgery.

As part of his research, Kletter tried primarily to achieve success in paraplegic patients with the help of embryonic brain cells , but this failed and also violated the law. After the unsuccessful treatment of a blind patient, the news magazine Profil accused him of faking the treatment and not using the drugs he needed. In 1994, Kletter was convicted of fraud in this and five other cases and lost his license to practice medicine. He then focused on writing until he was finally licensed back in 1998. Since then, Kletter worked in his private practice until it went bankrupt in 2009 as a specialist in neurosurgery and continues to write books. He is married and has five children.
