By a light stroke and hospitalization for monitoring in Pathology Clinic in Tzanio Hospital, The fatal wrong nurse, led the 62 -year -old woman to the intensive care unit to fight for her life.
The 62 -year -old has polyorganic deficiency after the wrong blood transfusion, with her relatives hoping for a miracle. At the same time, the assistant nurse is still being sought by the police, and reports say he has contacted his family environment and told them that he is well.
“The situation is very critical, very critical as much as it goes, between life and death. Suffered a small stroke, We went in for follow -up. There was a slight bleeding, which the body would absorb. And then they alerted you in the night? After three hours, “said the son of the unfortunate woman.
The inconceivable mistake took place in the early morning of the fourth, when the nurse entered the room and transfused to the patient and without the need for a wrong blood group, while the blood bottle was intended for the multi -transfused patient in the adjacent bed.
“We’re talking about blunder. She was put in blood and raised the hematoma on her head, “said her 62 -year -old husband.
“My mother didn’t even have serum. And because they had no beds my mother, they put her in the first pathological. We have lost our sleep everything our whole lives have changed. In the intensive care unit she has surgery on the head, “said the 62 -year -old son.
“Five basic centers of her body have been hit, the lungs are not in touch, there is a heart problem, kidneys and hematology, they gave us little chance of survival,” said family lawyer Athanasios Alexopoulos.
The nurse immediately understood the tragic mistake and alerted the medical staff. He then disappeared, however, as the patient’s son filed a lawsuit against him.
‘Our wish is to save her life’
For his part, Athanasios Alexopoulos, a 62 -year -old family lawyer, notes:
“How this story will evolve, either criminal or urban, is something we will see in a second year. At the moment, what we are interested in was what we did yesterday, that we went to make sure that both the hospital’s administrative services and the health care are doing their best in this case. “
“It’s bad to show a man with his finger and say that he is what he did. (…) They may be two or three. If what is being discussed that the regulation says that this assistant must have a university -level nursing or a doctor’s presence … The responsibility of a person we are unjustly loaded with now, is divided into three people who may not participate but at the rate of responsibility,
As for the situation the family is in?
“They are in a general confusion, our wish is to save her life this woman.”
But what defines the transfusion protocol:
- Identification of the patient during transfusion. Authority not adhered to the unlucky 62 -year -old.
- Presence of a specialized doctor and nurse.

“The nurse was experienced. Blood donation comes with the paper with all the elements, checks. At that moment no one was ahead to know how the nurse was checked and what happened, “did not say doctor Matina Pagonis.
