Her reactions and whole demeanor Roulas Pispirigou while Georgina was hospitalized at the University Hospital of Patras, they occupied the Mixed Jury Court, before which nurses from the Pediatric clinic in Rio testified.

The witnesses referred to “unusual” reactions of the mother who had already lost two children, a fact which, according to the nurses, made the whole behavior of the 34-year-old even more intense: “Cold, cool, detached, not shedding a single tear from her eyes” are the descriptions used in their statements by nurseswhich reported that the Hospital was hearing about “Minchausen Syndrome”.

What was testified by Mrs. Penelope Fifi, who was next to the child during his entire hospitalization in Rio, was typical. The witness described how she was most impressed by the reaction of Roula Pispirigou when Georgina was extubated after about ten days in the ICU where he was admitted after the arrest.

“At the extubation stage I saw one strange behavior of the mother. At this stage we bring the parents in to see their child. It is important for the child to feel safe and we also want to see the child’s reactions. If he perceives, if he responds to stimuli.

I saw upset the mother. The mother was obviously stressed. So at this stage we are waiting to see the joy. It is a victory for the child to breathe on its own. We didn’t see anything like that. The mother was not focusing on the child. He was looking at our reactions. Then he came a little closer to Georgina and spoke to her, but not what I would have expected, said the witness who was questioned by the president to clarify what he described.

President: Was it anxiety over the outcome of the extubation?

Witness: It wasn’t that agony. He wasn’t focusing on the child. She was not looking at her child.
President: Was he afraid?
Witness: There may be fear in the parents, but they ask. They say “can I touch it?” Here we told her to do things. Father spoke more. Mother cooed a “My Georgina.” I was very impressed. I also mentioned it to Mr. Iliadis. Mother was looking at me, the nurses and the doctors. The parent looks at his child, talks to him. I’ve never seen such a reaction before.”

Georgina was reacting to stimuli with her eyes and smiling

The nurse emphasized that the little girl had a perception after extubation and how was reacting in stimuli with the eyes. As he mentioned, Georgina looked childishly at the tablet “and burst out laughing”.

The same was testified by her colleague Mrs. Fifi Maria Skiadaresi who mentioned that the little girl, because she had a good relationship with her physiotherapist, smiled when she was going to do physiotherapy.

And this witness testified that the image of the father was completely different when Manos Daskalakis go see the child.

“When her dad came, he sang to her, talked to her, massaged her feet with oils. The mother was with a cell phone in her hand, more detached,” said Mrs. Fifi.

During her examination by Mr. Kouya, the witness repeated that during extubation she felt “inexplicable anxiety and agony” on the part of the mother, with the advocate answering her: “What should she do? Wait for the 25th miracle according to the Scriptures?! Since he knew from the MRI that the child will not move his legs and arms, that he will not have a mind!”
