In a video released in the past few days, Mr. Kallianos had mentioned the serious state of his father’s health, at the same time complaining about the way he was treated at the hospital.
The father of Yiannis Kallianos passed away at the age of 78whose condition had been mentioned by the ND MP in his Facebook posts.
In a video published in the past few days, Mr. Kallianos had mentioned the serious state of his father’s health, while complaining about the way he was treated at the hospital.
After his post, Mr. Kallianos opened a dialogue with the Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadiswho in his post on X after expressing his respect for the family’s pain, said that “ESY and its workers save thousands of people every day and they do it with knowledge, conscience, empathy, sensitivity and professionalism”.
The Minister of Health wrote: “A) The process of entering an ICU patient is transparent, according to strict medical criteria.
Therefore, the Ministry and I personally do not interfere -officially- in this purely medical procedure.
B) None of us are exempt from this process, as access to an ICU bed can in some cases decide someone’s life or death.
Against this we are all absolutely equal.
Decisions are made by doctors based on scientific criteria.
C) I have absolute confidence in our medical staff and in this case the legal procedure and the legal criteria have been fully respected.”
In his new post, Mr. Kallianos replied to the Minister of Health saying: “This is not your fault, it is the fault of the clinic where my father was and the doctors who “monitored” him and who said that the man is doing very well while his oxygen was decreasing daily. Isn’t that what they used to say? You, rightly say, cannot intervene in who will enter the ICU. But the doctors judge” says Mr. Kallianos and closing the post he says:
“I have everything in messages and calls (sounds I sent because I didn’t even have the courage to write a message) but also all the other evidence. What I will do from now on dear Minister Adonis, with all due respect, I will tell you that it concerns no one else but my father and his honor. Everything in the light, without fearing anyone who will try to make me a liar, because thousands of people have been in my father’s position in the past. I have all the evidence which I will testify publicly if necessary. As well as the exact names of the Doctors.”
He issued an announcement yesterday and Atticon Hospital, in which he stated:
“The patient underwent successful surgical treatment of gangrene, while his complex pre-existing problems were evaluated and treated intensively during his hospitalization by all involved specialties (cardiologists, pulmonologists, nephrologists, infectious disease specialists). On 4/22 the patient reported subjective deterioration, with stable vital signs and condition tests (good communication, good gas exchange and spontaneous breathing, stable hemodynamic picture without support), a picture that did not meet the medical criteria for ICU admission. During 4/23, he presented signs of mild but worsening tissue hypoxia (good communication and gas exchange, but a mild increase in lactate which the previous day was completely normal), was evaluated by the ICU and it was decided to admit him to the Intensive Care Unit at 18.30. During transport preparation the patient had a convulsive episode and was intubated. He was transferred to the ICU where he remains intubated in critical condition, on mechanical support of organs and systems.
Covering cases requiring intensive care is a top priority of Attikon University Hospital and the National Health System. During the turbulent last five years all the intubated patients of PGN ‘Attikon’ were cared for in the ICU of our hospital.
It is clarified that the admission of patients to every ICU in the country is done under strict conditions and criteria and after they are recorded on a centrally controlled platform of EKAB, criteria which the specific patient did not meet until 4/23. Indicatively, it is mentioned that according to the data of the EKAB platform, no non-intubated pathological patient was included in the platform in the last month.
We understand the emotional burden, we sympathize with the human pain of the family and we are doing all we can for the best possible development of this serious and complex incident.”
Unfortunately, Dimitris Kallianos breathed his last today at the age of 79.
