A new post – with a direct attack on the administration of the “Attikon” hospital – was made by the meteorologist and ND MP, Yannis Kallianoson the occasion of death of his father Dimitris at the age of 79.
Yiannis Kallianos explains 23 reasons why he will take legal action, describes what was (not) done on the part of the hospital to keep his father alive and emphasizes that “as soon as my father had a seizure and in essence he died” “, then he was immediately found in ICU and intubated for “Theathinai”.
We requested an ICU or ICU without intubation. They told me that the protocol does not allow someone to go to the ICU without intubation. So, someone had to die first, to go to ICU. And my father, who was not allowed to be intubated, simply had to die,” she emphasizes.
His post in detail:
23 reasons. Dozens more will follow.
The following:
1. Administration of “Attikon” Hospital
2. Board of Directors of the Professional Association of Vascular Surgeons of Greece (EEAE).
3. School of Medicine of EKPA
4. President of POEDIN
who rushed immediately (why?) to support the Professor in charge who was “monitoring” my father, without any of them being in the room where my father was being treated for even a second,
To know that:
(a) They amputated the big toe of my father, a man whose life was in danger at any moment, on a simple bed, simply by drawing a curtain, next to another patient and not in the operating room where the environment would have been completely sterile . Gangrene amputation in plain bed in? Are we at war?
(b) My father, who had complete lucidity, was not asked to sign his consent for an operation to be performed in a simple bed, that is, on a seriously ill man who might suffer a seizure (or some other complication) at any time moment due to the amputation. Was the consent of another relative asked? No.
(c) The administration’s detailed and public announcement of my father’s illnesses, while there is a strict law on medical confidentiality, is a felony.
(d) Surgeries on such patients are not performed in single beds with other patients because there is a risk of transfer of germs in such a non-sterile environment.
(e) The Professor kept telling us in all tones, every moment, that my father is doing great and that he will be out of the hospital in a few days. There are the messages.
(f) The Professor, until the last moment when my father was “leaving”, never told us that he was worried about his health and stubbornly refused to transfer him to an ICU unit (even of another hospital) or to put him on the platform to he goes to ICU but without being intubated.
(g) 1st and 2nd year medical students used to see if my father’s saturation was good or at best a specialist and rarely supervisors of various specialties who had to be aware at regular intervals due to the desaturations he did and dozens of other problems that had.
(h) The Professor has knowledge of Vascular Surgery and no knowledge of Cardiology or Pulmonology or any other specialty so he keeps telling us “we’re doing great” while my father every day couldn’t breathe.
(i) My father had been suffering from pulmonary fibrosis for years and they questioned even that.
(j) There was the time, if for 7 whole days on your knees we begged the Professor that the chances of my father’s life would increase, if my father was not in a simple Vascular surgery bed with a mask and antibiotics but in an intensive care unit for to control all his organs at once.
(k) To the Minister of Health (who, to his credit, wanted to be fully informed) was told by the Administration in all tones that my father is doing well and that his exams are very good.
(l) I have countless and securely recorded SMS messages and voicemails in which I am begging the Administration and the Professor to take my father to the ICU or ICU without intubating him because he will not be able to withstand it, and they told me that the protocol does not allow someone to go to the ICU without intubation. So someone had to die first to go to ICU. And my father who was not allowed to be intubated, just had to die.
(m) They did a chest x-ray on my father and didn’t notice the “shadow” on the lung that suggested some form of infection that my brother saw and then agreed and had to give him a second antibiotic?
(n) My brother would go and put paper tapes on my father’s mask to close the holes so he could get a little more oxygen because he kept getting desaturated.
(ξ) My brother, a scientist cardiologist – arrhythmologist with an international career, 8 Masters, PhD and specialization 4 years in France who every day saves people, explains to the letter and in order with Medical arguments what should be done and what was not done correctly.
(o) The Director of the ICU of the Attica Hospital was not aware of anything that was happening all these days.
(p) As soon as my father had a seizure and essentially “passed out”, he was immediately found in the ICU and intubated for “Theathine” with the Doctors following the “protocol” which says that in order to go to the ICU you must first be intubated, while Directors of other ICUs shout the opposite, that you can go to ICU without being intubated.
(r) Mr. Nikos Kapravelos, Coordinating Director in the 2nd ICU of the Papanikolaou Hospital of Thessaloniki, spoke on Live News about my father’s death and said verbatim: “Things were not done correctly. This patient wanted increased care. It is intubation of the patient at this age is wrong, but we have the means to help him. From the first moment, if I were the doctor, he would go to the ICU, without intubation, so the ICU has a triple task it is medically wrong to leave a patient who needs increased care, in a simple ward. A patient with underlying diseases, within 2-3 days will fall into a dangerous situation for his life when he would have been prevented”
(p) We NEVER asked for intubation of my father because we knew he wouldn’t make it if he went in there. We requested an ICU or ICU without intubation.
(u) There is no written directive that says strictly intubated patients are admitted to the ICU. No such directive and especially now that there are many empty ICUs after the dozens of new ones that were created.
(f) My father was admitted to “Attikon” from Asclepion of Voulas with sepsis, but the Doctors did not pay any particular attention and said that his tests are fine. His tests fine with elevated markers of sepsis that should have had a completely different treatment?
(x) My brother asked my father to have an ultrasound of the heart and a specialist just brought the device to his bed inside. It was there that my father’s tachymopathy appeared, which you had not seen until now and which was another reason why he was gradually collapsing. However, his tests were “excellent” for the Doctors and the Administration of “Attikon”.
There will be other reasons for my father’s honor and for the honor of all those who died prematurely in hospitals.
