Kallianou’s confession about his father’s health adventure: I want to expose the system

With tears in his eyes and sobs, ND MP Yannis Kallianos confessed in a Facebook video his anguish over his father’s health adventure, denouncing the “system” in a public hospital, which he initially did not want to name.

“I want to say some things not to make you feel sorry for me, but to to expose a system of specific people who have brought not only me, but my whole family to this situation.” “My father has many health problems, as he is on dialysis and has diabetes. 15 days ago he entered Voula as he blackened his finger as he has a diabetic foot. He was treated very well in Voula, but he was told that such major vascular surgery issues cannot be treated properly and he should be in another hospital.” Mr. Kallianos did not want, at this point, to name the hospital and the specific professor who took care of his father, after his big toe was amputated.

“For the next five days he was doing well. On the sixth day, he became desaturated, that is, the oxygen dropped,” explains Mr. Kallianos and continues: “My brother is a doctor in Cyprus and came and saw him and told him to enter the platform and be admitted to ICU, because he would not be able to continue to be well”. “The doctor who operated on him and the whole team told me that ‘we all sign that Mr. Kallianos is fine, very well. My brother begged them to put him in MAF.” “They didn’t put him on, no, he’s fine,” the doctors insisted, according to what Mr. Kallianos complains and explains that for five days “they told us he’s very well, while as soon as he took off the mask, the saturation went to 60”.

At this point, Mr. Kallianos bursts into sobs and says: “My tears have dried up begging them to put him in an MAF. Finally, my father became desaturated and had a seizure today and they intubated him and put him in intensive care.” “Because what my father went through, a lot of people will have gone through, they can’t imagine what they have to go through from me and my brother,” he says and continues, crying: “I’m sorry for crying … although things are difficult for my father now, I hope he makes it. He had no oxygen at all and a nurse came by every 4 hours.”

I called everyone and was unable to help my father, he reports sobbing and adds that when he asked the professor who assured him that his father was fine, he refused. At this point, Yannis Kallianos revealed that the hospital he is talking about is the Attica, while he did not mention the name of the professor who operated on his father. In this country, people must have the care they deserve, he concludes, while he can’t hold back his tears.
