Wrong Blood Transfusion Leaves Greek Woman Fighting for Life

A 62-year-old woman is fighting for her life at Tzaneio Hospital in Athens, Greece, after receiving the wrong blood type during a procedure. According to her lawyer, Athanasios Alexopoulos, a nurse mistakenly administered an incompatible blood transfusion, leading to multiple organ failure. Doctors have given her a grim 5% chance of survival. "The situation is extremely critical," Alexopoulos stated, "She is suffering from organ failure in five organs, including her kidneys, lungs, and brain, yet her heart continues to function." Even if she survives, the extent of her recovery is uncertain. The incident has sparked outrage and raised serious concerns about medical protocols and patient safety at Tzaneio Hospital. An investigation is underway to determine the exact circumstances that led to this tragic medical error. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of meticulous attention to detail in medical procedures to prevent such devastating mistakes.
