Eleftheria Petsava, who was on duty at Karamandanio on April 10 and 11, 2021, when Georgina was admitted, told the court about what preceded the dramatic incident, as a result of which the child became paralyzed.

I saw my mother silently waving her hands at me. That’s when I realized it was something serious. The child was in the middle of the bed. He was pale and had no nasal oxygen. The monitor showed dashes. We did cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and after about 50 minutes, the monitor began to show a weak pulse … The child had been dead for 50 minutes. He began to show up, and in appearance he was white. After 50-55 minutes, the monitor recorded a weak pulse,” he said.

The president asked the witness for an exact description of how she found Georgina, and she replied that “she was in the middle and closer to the foot of the bed. He was unconscious and in a panic.”
