Doctors' questions and concerns about the deaths of children in Patras after the parents' interview

Questions, regarding what the parents of the three girls from Patras - who died within three years - said in an interview on Thursday, are being raised by doctors.

These questions were addressed, via MEGA, by the police editor of the newspapers "Ta Nea" and "To Vima", Vassilis Lambropoulos.

The doctors' questions

During the interview, the girls' mother described how Malena spent nine days in hospital and one 24-hour period before she ended up having her first chemotherapy treatment.

Doctors make it clear that on that day the child had the injection chemotherapy and the girl had taken pills, which had worked in the previous days. That is, the injection chemotherapy started on the ninth day and in fact, in the previous days the doctors had reported that the problem was being treated and that the condition was curable and that the little girl would be discharged very soon.

This is why the doctors were worried and surprised when Malena died suddenly. The coroner's report speaks of liver failure, with the doctors wondering about this finding, since they say they had done a cardiology and hepatology test, which had shown nothing.

As for the death of 6-month-old Iris, the bloody cloth found next to her does not indicate whether she died of cardiac arrest. Doctors say the blood on the cloth would result if the infant had a lung problem or pulmonary edema.



Essentially, what doctors are saying is that someone who dies from a heart attack does not bleed.

At the same time, doctors say that Georgina had no symptoms while she was in the ICU, which appeared as soon as the child was returned to a regular bed.

In fact, the Aglaia Kyriakou Hospital was very upset by Georgina's sudden death and the hospital called the company that had put in the defibrillator to see if it was working well.

Finally, it is clarified that when the doctors mention the activation of the pacemaker due to sudden bradycardia, they consider it highly likely that there was an external cause, not of the machine, but of the child.
