The Minister of Health Adonis Georgiadis A post on Facebook, he refers to his visit to Rhodes Hospital, for which, as he says, you have been a moment of high intensity with a doctor who lasted at most five minutes and presented as “chaos” and “conflict with workers”.
In detail, Adonis Georgiadis’ post
“For my visit to Rhodes Hospital this year and what you read:
Now see how the events are distorted if they want the media to distort them and make impressions. You would definitely see the successive publications on the “explosive climate” on my visit to Rhodes Hospital this year, “my arguments with medical staff” etc. Well, now I will prove to you, with unmistakable evidence that what you read is.
Last year, my first year as Minister of Health I visited, among other things, the Hospital of Rhodes. In fact, I was accompanied by the South Aegean Regional Governor Mr. Hatzimarkos. At the entrance I was awaiting more than 150 demonstrators with duduks etc, slogans and voices and eventually stayed there at the entrance and we had a living dialogue with the president of workers when he had really gathered a lot of people.
We made him at the entrance because there the world was concentrated and I didn’t want to cause a fuss With the pressure of the police entering it. (For this reason, your truth is quoted down in the first two lights, the crowd gathered outside the Hospital and I also quote this year’s article on the events at the entrance of the hospital in 2024: https://www.in.gr/./georgiadis-se-ekriktiko-klima…./ https://www.iefimerida.gr/…/epeisodio-georgiadi-me…).
The channels were playing snapshots for days and I pledged to do some things for the hospital (almost everything was done, except that although I opened 50 nurses we did not find so many as they only applied for 15 and still looking for others).
This year, and while in May a month was preceded by the Rhodes Hospital so he was “collapsing”, with rallies at the Labor Center, etc. with the Commander of the Ministry Mr. Roylos and the executive of the Commander and the Director of Medical Service Mr. Sokorelo, we were not one of the Hospital. So, this year my visit was invited by the island’s unions in hospital mobilizations against me: https://www.dimokratiki.gr/…/kinitopiisi-me-aFormi-ton…/
So do we arrive with the 2nd Governor of the 2nd Ministry Mr. Roylo and the executing debts of the Hospital of the Hospital, Mr. Sokorello (I had with me and my son Perseus who was with me last year) at the entrance of the hospital and we look forward to seeing this this year? None! (For this reason, I quote some light is the 3rd and then light, which I greet a few employees I enter the hospital without any problems, while I was left out last year because I couldn’t get into the protesters) a single protester. Zero!
Last year the pictures you sawthis year only a few representatives of the trade unionists who kindly asked me to meet And whom I called with the media representatives in the amphitheater in an open discussion. We didn’t have anything to hide, because the hospital is working very well this year, has a record of surgery, zero waiting for cold surgeries due to exhaustion of the list of waiting through afternoon surgeries, there are half a day, and there are half the new ones, And therefore they deserve congratulations to Mr. Screlo.
The meeting with trade union representatives went well, so that you had a sense of the supposedly terrible reactions to a total of 601 hospital workers, about 12 employees must have come, I really started because the previous time had been very much in the past.
They said The trade unions their claims, not all wrong, eg in the pathological clinics we really have shortages More serious and yet we did not find the 50 nurses we want, but we all agreed in the end that the hospital has made progress and that it works well (their concerns were not as much as in the present as in the future, if we do not act now, all this was done before all the media and we were in love with all the media. Great conflict). No problem at all. The relative light, which we all came out of administration and trade unionists in an excellent climate at the end of the discussion, I quote here to have it and see who tells you the truth and who is manipulating you.
What came out of all this very nice and calm general visit? …chaos! Supposedly terrible fuss, “my conflict with workers” etc because:
Because for a maximum of 5 ‘at most, there was a moment of high intensity, when a doctor (the one with the white blouse you see in the videos and shouts) clashed strongly with the executive debt and director of the Orthopedic Surgeon Medical Surgeon Mr. Sokorlo. The fact that I was in a hurry to take the place and defend myself with intensity, I confess, Mr. Scoreloo, causing the reaction to him, who left himself (and did not kick him out any security) shouting and accusing us, became the object of this communication.
Note that the conflict is between two doctors (so the accusations of me that I was inappropriate to the doctors who fight for battles are irrational after defending one doctor over the charges against him by another doctor) for financial reasons.
Specifically, the Commander cuts monthly pay to this doctor (and others) because he considered them illegal, provoking the rage of the shouting for the money he lost (in his opinion unjustly). The conflict was not about the operation of the hospital but to his money. Indeed, some of the attendees shouted that these should not be publicly said before the media, but they did not show this dimension, as it did not serve the narrative of “evil” and “crying” Georgiades.
And the moment of my explosion was when the voice physician (I don’t write his name to not expose him, we are all entitled to some bad times) It was when he called us unethical and especially his colleague of physician K. Screloo (who lied, etc.), etc.), a phrase that made me shout (to fry according to the video) … I badly shouted this one minute? Bad! But is it fair from such a long and nice visit, to play this one minute, to distort what really happened this year?
And a few words about Mr. Sokorello, the executive of the Commander, until we appoint a commander. It is one of the best orthopedic surgeons in our country with over 25,000 operations. I have the thanks of patients in my office because it saved their lives. In spite of his full schedule at the hospital where he knows everyone and everyone knows him, After working there for 30 years, he agreed to do the commander and took over this job with fun and enthusiasm.
Practically he does not leave the hospital at all and has begun to appoint a commander immediately, because he wants to be dedicated to his medical duties as director of the Medical Service. Yes, knowing from inside faces and things, he cut a lot of expenses and obviously he was unhappy with many people, but I would never leave him defenseless after so much work he has thrown, all these years for the NHS! Thank you very much.
In short, the meeting went fine, there was no big fuss, the trade union mobilizations this year were zero ahead of what had happened last year, the confrontation you saw had intense personal characteristics, the hospital works well and the concerns that were expressed by it.
Finally in the parallel week we will open the inauguration of the clinics that have already been renovated both time and others. The NHS changes and it is better to trust it! “
