Notoriety

Thalmann became known through an operation on May 3, 1998, when he rescued a three-year-old girl who had been under water for more than half an hour as a senior physician at the Klagenfurt Regional Hospital . The case became known beyond the borders of Austria because the medication and instrumentation, which had only been developed for adults, had to be adapted to the dimensions of small children during the procedure. In 2011, Das Wunder von Kärnten, a television film about this operation, was made, which was broadcast by ZDF and ORF 2 . Thalmann was portrayed by Ken Duken .
