Adonis Georgiadis and Maria Karystianou clash over quantum medicine
Greek Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis and Maria Karystianou, president of the ‘Elpida gia ti Dimokratia’ movement, have entered a sharp public dispute regarding the validity of ‘quantum medicine.’ Georgiadis has accused Karystianou of using non-existent scientific terms to mislead patients, stating that ‘quantum medicine does not exist scientifically.’ He also suggested she should be investigated for her professional claims and medical equipment advertising.
Karystianou defended her position, arguing that her references pertain to the application of quantum physics in medical technologies, such as lasers and MRI machines. She criticized the government for failing to ensure proper oversight of medical practices and clinics, asserting that it is the state's responsibility, not the citizen's, to verify the legality and certification of medical professionals.
The confrontation also touched upon the investigation into the death of singer George Mazonakis at a private clinic in Kolonaki. Georgiadis addressed concerns regarding the effectiveness of medical inspections following the transfer of the Health Inspectors Body to the National Transparency Authority, while Karystianou used the incident to call for greater accountability and better working conditions within the National Health System.
