THE FIRST INTERVENTION WAS MADE BY AN IMPRISONED DOCTOR
One of the imprisoned friends in the same ward told BOLD about what Gerginci has experienced there: “Nedim Gerginci was in the same ward with my wife.. I went to the prison to see him yesterday, then he told me. They were all in a very bad mood, he seemed bad.When Mr Nedim came out of the bathroom,they realized that he did not seem good. There was a doctor in the ward, he did the first intervention. Then he was taken to the hospital. The doctor said the blood pressure was high, the blood pressure hit his heart.” Ahmet Nedim Gerginci, who was referred to the Cardiovascular Department of the Şanlıurfa Mehmet Akif Inan Training and Research Hospital a month ago, was waiting to be taken to the hospital. The prison administration did not transfer Gerginci to the hospital for a month, despite the referral order.
