Health board 'playing God'

A pensioner has accused Queensland Health of "playing God" after he was forced to wait more than 200 days longer than he should have for urgent brain surgery.

The state opposition has seized on the case of 70-year-old Hans Hagen, who has been on a category-one waiting list for more than seven months.

That's despite him being listed as in need of surgery within 30 to 60 days.
