At this time, 15 -year -old Dimitris is in the operating room who was heat stroke and collapsed during a walk in Metsovo.
Dimitris was rushed to a Turin hospital as he had to undergo a liver transplant. According to ERT, a few hours after his transfer to Italy, a graft for teenager Dimitris was found and on Wednesday morning (30.7.2025) he was undergoing surgery.
The father of 15 -year -old Dimitris talked about liver transplantation and explained that the family knew that the child was suffering from roughness and noticed him from a young age. However, teenager Dimitris overestimated his strength and suffered a serious heat stroke a few days ago.
It is noted that while young Dimitris overcame all the problems of heat stroke but his liver suffered irreparable damage and his transfer to Turin was deemed necessary.
The 15 -year -old’s father spoke on ERTnews’ links and said he was optimistic about the child’s health and appealed to be a donor.
“I appeal to the whole world, anyone who can help my child as a donor. Dimitris is a healthy child, but he has to pay attention to the heat as a child is sensitive. As long as he was little, we were careful.
But at 15, however, a little boy, who went on holiday, forgot that he was sensitive to the heat and decided to go up with his friends on the mountain. So the sun and the heat caught them, and while it should have taken with it refreshing, etc. He neglected it, destroyed by the liver’s heat stroke and now in this emergency. You all have parents and children, in a similar state of your mind, “said Dimitris’ father.
