Giorgos Liagas: The revelation about his father’s death

“My father died the first time and I was holding his hand,” said Giorgos Liagas

Giorgos Liagas, on the occasion of Yannis Kallianou’s outburst, revealed that his father died.

In particular, Mr George Liagas, responding to Arias Kalyva’s question about how many times he heard that nothing in Greece works, he characteristically said: “I’m going to say something for the first time, you’re provoking me. My father was a purgatory, just like Kallianos’ father. He underwent two years of dialysis.

One Sunday afternoon – I wasn’t divorced yet – he came home with the kids and we played and it was great. By the time she left the house, she told me she was dizzy. He returned to his house in Kolonos and his brother takes me telling me that “dad is not well”. I called an ambulance and ran to the People’s Hospital. They had him in a room, I took his hand and he told me that it hurt a lot here (in the heart area). I understood that he had suffered a heart attack because due to hemodialysis – two days had passed and he had eaten and drank a little more – he had hyperkalemia. When potassium increases, the person has a chance of having a heart attack.”

THE George Liagas, in fact, he added: “I was shouting for two hours to the doctors, ‘Guys, he’s had a heart attack, we have to put him in a cardiology unit.’ Don’t say what was going on that day in the hospital. People were passing by with blood, the bad destruction was happening. I did not say that I am Liagas and I will disown you if you do not take him to the cardiology clinic.

After two hours, when they take my father on the stretcher and I was holding his hand, he has a seizure. My father died the first time and I was holding his hand. It is an image that will never leave my mind. From that time and for 3-4 hours, all the hospital staff were over my father. That day my father died 3-4 times and came back. The third or fourth time, because I didn’t know what kind of problem this would have created in his brain, I went into the intensive care unit while I was forbidden and whispered something in his ear.”
