The testimony of the intensivist Andreas Iliadis, which will continue after Easter, ended with tension, who was called by the advocate of Roulas Pispirigou to answer for his role as transplant coordinator. Mr. Iliadis received a question from the advocate “if sending children’s organs for transplants” to which he replied irritatedly that “I am not a courier” and declaring that he was proud of his contribution to the National Transplantation Organization, he told Alexis Kougia that his questions were “insult to parents who have donated organs”.

Earlier, Mr. Iliadis referring to “unexplained episodes” the witness emphasized that Georgina after the objection had very elevated troponin levelss, which is expected due to the child’s condition. However, later he said, there were elevated troponin levels which fell rapidly. “I can not explain it. The doctor also told me about mydriasis, dilation of the pupil, in Georgina’s eye, which she pointed out could be caused by the use of medication. Ketamine, for example, causes mydriasis.”he said.

The witness who called Georgina either “our little patient” either “Georginitsa” described what happened from the admission of the child to the ICU of Rio after the protest until the child was transferred to Aglaia Kyriakou in Athens. He reported all his actions and all the communications he had with his colleagues from central hospitals in order to do the best possible for the child.

As he said, after extubation “We decided for the protection of the little girl, so that she would not be in danger, to be treated by a doctor in Onasio. A defibrillator was inserted there and pacing was set to 60 beats. Then he went back to the unit that was in Rio to monitor the defibrillator implant they had placed. Georgina’s recovery had already begun” said the witness, then describing the actions for “as long as we could restore mobility.”

After discharge, as Mr. Iliadis said “There was communication with Georgina’s mother where he mentioned some symptoms to me. They were about vomiting symptoms, they were non-specific. What I suggested was that it would be better if it were on the hospital grounds. He entered the hospital, they did what had to be done.”

As he pointed out “Georgina under our watch he was in a calm state. The EKG was calm, the cardiograms were always normal and no pacemaker was activated.”

Chairman: Were the convulsive episodes, which resolved automatically, noted by the doctors?

Witness: They were never found. I studied the two videos, they do not in any way record a seizure episode. A crying child appears and generally an image that is expected. I asked for videos to be taken of the child and there is video of the monitor the child was connected to.

Regarding the disputed episodes in question of the president about these convulsive symptoms only when the child was near its mother and not when being transferred to an ICU ward the witness said “there is an explanation! I’ll take you back to the red flags of delusional disorder (of Munchausen syndrome)”.

Mr. Iliadis said that Georgina was transferred to Aglaia Kyriakou in order to have a brain scan, which was not done in Patras. “I called the hospital and informed them. The cardiologist called me and told me “I’ve seen the little one on ultrasound, she’s fine.”

Chairman: Your mother called you at the time of the protest in Aglaia Kyriakou. Do you remember what he told you?

Witness: Yes, he just said it. I don’t remember any intense emotional charge. Told me “the little one had a seizure and they are giving her CPR.” “I told her please we will let the doctors do their job. After a while, she informed me that the little one ended up and from that moment, unfortunately, I had no further contact with the mother.”

The witness, answering questions about the reactions of the parents while the child was in Rio, said that the father asked many questions about what will be done and if something else can be done, while the mother listened more than asked.

“He didn’t have the anxiety I usually see in parents. Of mourning. But every parent reacts differently. If I was impressed? Yes, it was a mother’s reaction that was not identical to the magnitude of seriousness.”

The doctor said that the mother, realizing that she had made an impression or that her behavior was being commented on, had told him “Ice pillar you will see me! I’ve been through a lot! I won’t take my feelings out.”

The trial will continue on April 25.
