  • [01] Archbishop released from Miami hospital

    Archbishop Christodoulos of Athens and All Greece was released Saturday from Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, returning to an apartment he has been staying in since August 18 when he arrived in the US for medical purposes.

    The Archbishop's release from hospital came a few days after a liver transplant was aborted mid-operation after surgeons found that the patient's cancer had spread to the abdominal cavity.

    Upon leaving the hospital, Christodoulos said that he felt well, and thanked all the people for their support.

    He said that he was recovering from a 'second adventure' following the surgery, noting that the operation had not been successful, and that time was needed for the injuries to heal. He said he was entering the "third stage", in which his attending doctors of prescribed a treatment regimen.

    Asked if he was ready to return to Greece, Christodoulos stressed that he fervently wanted to return, "but necessity is keeping me here".

    Questioned if he continued to have confidence in noted surgeon Andreas Tzakis, the Archbishop replied: "Certainly. Mr. Tzakis is an eminent professional, who has provided the necessary explanations to the Greek people".

    Asked whether he would remain for treatment in the US or return to Greece, Christodoulos said that "we are in a big medical centre of international repute here in Miami, and it would not be good for me to leave and search elsewhere for a solution to the problem".

    He said that in a few days' time, when more information was available, it would be decided whether the treatment to be followed would take place in the US or in Greece.

    Earlier, the Archbishop spoke by phone with prime minister Costas Karamanlis, who called to wish Christodoulos a speedy recovery.
