“I was told that he was a child who had lost his brothers and that he was a special case,” Panayota Centorou, a nurse at the Karamandane hospital in Patras, who testified at the trial, said of Georgina. Roulas Pispirigou before fashion.

The nurse testified that she was on duty on April 8, 2021, when Georgina was admitted, as well as the next day.

“On Thursday, the 8th of the month, I was told that he was a child who had lost his brothers and that this was a special case. We take care of all children and we took care of that too. We were told that he might have a seizure… During my day shift, the child’s heart rate increased, but at the limit. The doctor took an ECG and told us to keep an eye on her. The next day (April 9) they did an EEG, everything is in order. The doctors said that the child had a good clinical picture and that there was no reason to stay in the hospital, and that he should also be discharged, since it was a covid period … The mother was told that the child was fine (and could leave). There our mother said, “Is this child okay?” Are you writing it out?”

Questions from Alexis Kouya

During her interrogation by the defendant’s counsel, Mr. Kougias pointed out that the nurse, in her investigative testimony, said that the mother “quietly informed us”, and this fact was incriminated by Rule Pispiriga.

In addition, Mr. Kougias asked the witness why she wrote in the hospital papers that on April 9 Georgina developed “coughing and vomiting” when today she mentioned “small drooling”?.

Witness: He didn’t vomit. The first time the mother called us, she showed us a nephroid (container) that contained some saliva. I am writing what my mother told us that she had a cough and vomiting …

Al. Kougias: You don’t write it, it’s like yours.

President: Why don’t you say this clearly in your testimony? Because in history it looks like you’re saying it, not like your mother is telling you. Can you clarify this for us? Why does this variation exist?

Witness: Vomiting is both vomiting and more…

President: Why didn’t you tell the investigator about this?

Witness: I was not asked about all these details.

The witness was asked to clarify whether she saw Georgina black, as her mother said, or pale, as she testified.

Al. Kogias: Is it possible that he was black, and the blackness was replaced by paleness?

Witness: I don’t know.

Al. Kogias: How long does the blackness last?

Witness: Seconds.

Al. Kogias: So?

Witness: It lasts seconds when we give oxygen, they didn’t give oxygen here.

Al. Kogias: Why did you put in a pulse oximeter?

Witness: When a child has bruises, so we put in a pulse oximeter to see…
