Christos Zoupas diabetologist Traga in SKAI: He thought he was invulnerable – “Come on baby flu”

“The problem was that at this age he thought he was invulnerable,” Christos Zoupas, a diabetologist and personal friend of George Tragas, who died at dawn at the age of 72, told SKAI and Sia Kosioni. coronavirus

“He thought he was invulnerable, and he was even preparing to make a trip, which I told him ‘in the name of God where you are going, and most importantly, since you are unregulated you have a greater need than a regulated one to do your sugar, because an inflammation will change your whole profile, it will over-regulate your sugar ” “And as I really told him, this is exactly how they were done with cinematic precision (…) I had prescribed it, but I did not imagine that it would be done so quickly and so aggressively” noted Mr. Zoupas.

“Come on baby flu is going to pass”

Describing what happened to Giorgos Tragas, the doctor spoke of a vicious cycle, saying that “the blood sugar went up a lot, it created hyperglycemia, as a result of which he had a cardiovascular event, the cardiologists had to do an emergency angioplasty, which means to put two or three . But in order to do pottery you have to do angiography. The contrast agent is a nephrotoxic drug unfortunately and it caused kidney failure… »

“And so we entered a vicious circle, and George where on the eve he laughed and said to me ‘come on baby flu is going to pass… Should I take ZITHROMAX?’ I tell him ‘in the name of God and the Virgin, you are not allowed to behave so casually in the face of the problem that you can have more serious consequences’ and in any case it was the last time I spoke and then from the news I learned that he comes in urgently with severe infection in the hospital… »

“He wavered between ‘yes’ and ‘no'”

“Unfortunately, I feel that for the first time with him I did not succeed in achieving the goal, that is, to convince him to take it for granted. When I talked to him I felt that I had a man who was hesitating between ‘yes’ and ‘no’… I do not know how and why he behaved in this way, but he tried at every opportunity in the last month to give me the impression that I needed a paper to extend the vaccine a bit, because, unfortunately, he thought that with the vaccine his blood sugar could be regulated, although when he first called me he said ‘what will I do doctor now that I have 8.6 glycosylated which means an increased percentage of glycosylation and regulation of diabetes… »

It was then, the doctor continued, that I persistently began to beg him and tell him that ‘you have an immediate need to protect yourself from a possible infection because you are vulnerable due to diabetes for many years’, because it is different to have sugar 3, 4, 5 years, and another 30 – 32 that George had… The defense of the organization is completely different. ‘I will do it, he told me… I did not feel that he had an ideological background that the vaccine did not, it was a human fear, because in the many years we have been working together he had gained so much confidence in me that he was a man who whatever I told him he made the Gospel “.

What George Tragas himself said

George Tragas himself had described the fears he had and did not get the vaccine…

“It strikes vulnerable groups like mine, the diabetics. I’m in danger if I get sick. “If I also get the vaccine, which I am thinking of going to get, I am afraid that it can get me pneumonia, a fever and make my arrhythmia diabetes,” he told MESOGEOS FM.

In his last post – while he was in quarantine at home, he wrote that he dances .. tango with the coronavirus ..

“So far I have a fever, it comes and goes, I have my taste, I have my smell, I do not cough, I take zinc, I take vitamin C and also vitamin D.”

“Those you want, you will go to be vaccinated. Those who are afraid, talk to your soul, to yourself. No one can force you or punch you. Observe the necessary precautionary measures, “said George Tragas.

“I got stuck by a friend of mine, who works with me on the radio and who had been vaccinated three times. “It was not only me who got stuck, others also got stuck,” said the journalist.

Unvaccinated and his wife, Maria Carra .. whom he married 3 times. And she got sick, but fortunately she got over it lightly – in quarantine in her house…
