A major review is underway at Jönköping's regional hospital after approximately 80 children with heart conditions were incorrectly declared healthy by a single physician. The hospital is now examining medical records for 700 children who received care for heart conditions to determine whether they received proper treatment. The investigation comes after parents noticed their children continued to experience breathing difficulties and low energy levels despite being told they were cured.
Simon Rundqvist, head of the pediatric clinic at Jönköping County Hospital, expressed serious concerns about the situation. "This is not how things should be. You should be able to trust your doctor," Rundqvist told P4 Jönköping. He emphasized that the number of cases where medical assessments fell short of standards was unacceptably high, prompting the comprehensive review currently in progress.
The issue came to light when parents of several children sought medical care again after noticing persistent symptoms. Subsequent examinations by different doctors revealed that the children's heart conditions had not resolved as previously claimed. Several children now require heart surgery that might have been avoided with proper initial diagnosis and treatment.
The physician responsible for the misdiagnoses worked at the hospital for approximately six years before leaving several years ago. Region Jönköping has engaged external experts to assist in reviewing the cases and is recalling all affected children for follow-up examinations. The hospital administration has been unable to contact the former physician for comment despite attempts by local media.

TGS, the Oslo-based energy data provider, has been awarded a significant ocean bottom node (OBN) acquisition contract in the Gulf of Mexico, marking another strategic win in one of the company's core markets. The 4D monitor survey is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025 and will span approximately four and a half months. This contract represents continued confidence in TGS's capabilities from the international oil company client, though the specific customer identity remains undisclosed.
The contract was notably absent from TGS's booked position disclosed in the company's second quarter 2025 presentation, indicating a recent acquisition for the seismic data specialist. The Gulf of Mexico remains a critical region for offshore energy production, and 4D seismic monitoring plays an essential role in optimizing reservoir management and production efficiency for major operators in the region.
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, emphasized the significance of securing business from repeat customers, stating that the client values TGS's OBN technology and proven track record of project execution. "The client is confident we will deliver high-quality data and insights to optimize production from one of their highest producing facilities in the Gulf of Mexico," Johansen commented, highlighting the operational importance of the project for the customer's production optimization efforts.
TGS's expertise in OBN technology positions the company as a trusted partner for international oil companies seeking to maximize recovery from existing assets. The 4D seismic approach allows operators to monitor reservoir changes over time, providing critical data for production optimization decisions. This latest contract win reinforces TGS's strong position in the Gulf of Mexico market and demonstrates the ongoing demand for advanced seismic monitoring solutions in mature offshore basins.
