František Rapan

František Rapan is a former Slovak football representative who gained media attention due to a legal dispute following a surgical error in 2019, where he underwent knee surgery on the wrong leg. He has been seeking compensation for non-material damages and has expressed frustration over the court's initial ruling that awarded him only six thousand euros, significantly less than the amount he sought. Rapan's case has drawn public interest as it highlights issues of medical malpractice and patient rights in Slovakia, with the ongoing legal proceedings after the Supreme Court annulled previous judgments.
