Patras: The audio document of the call to the ambulance for Iris (video+audio)

According to a report on the website flamis.gr, the EKAV received the call for the small Iris at 11.37 in the morning, immediately sent a unit staffed with a doctor rather than an ambulance with only rescuers.

Within 7 minutes the ambulance unit was in front of the family's house, at 27 Bijaniou Street, in Patras. In the audio document at the end, the announcer of the ambulance says the time: 11.37.

Immediately the crew entered the ground floor residence in search of the infant.

At that time in the house was Roula Pispirigou, the Manos Daskalakis, the 9-year-old Georgina and the Dimitra Pispirigou, who had earlier gone out on the road looking for the ambulance to direct it to the couple's home. Manos had arrived earlier because he was almost next door.

Entering the kitchen, the rescuers and the doctor saw 6-month-old Iris on the floor and above her Manos and Roula, who was trying to revive the infant with CPR.

«Please do something, we have already lost a child.», Manos Daskalakis said to the crew in a pleading tone, giving his place to the rescuers.

Roula Pispirigou had already moved away from the child and was crying in a corner of the kitchen. While she watched in horror what was going on, Georgina, the eldest child, stood staring dumbfounded and would not leave despite her mother's cries to go into the next room.

The ambulance team touching Iris finds that the infant's limbs are frozen and her lips are bruised.

«Why didn't you call the ambulance earlier?» asked the doctor, to receive the answer from Manos Dskalakis that «now we have seen it».

The resuscitation process started quickly, but the infant was no longer breathing.

The rescuers inform the Karamandaneio Hospital how to come and prepare for the last resuscitation operation of the infant.

«Don't be late», Manos shouted to the ambulance crew when little Iris, without a pulse, was being carried to the ambulance.

Following the ambulance by car, Manos and Roula arrive at the Karamandaneio, where a team of doctors and nurses receive the child. Manos Daskalakis looks left and right as if lost, waiting to hear about his child's health, as witnesses say, and Roula Pispirigou a little further away is crying.

A few hours later, they are told that they have not managed to bring little Iris back to life. She was already dead before she reached the hospital.
