Damir Koldžo, a lawyer of the Palić family, filed another complaint against the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo yesterday. He submitted the report to the Administration for Inspection Affairs of the Sarajevo Canton on behalf of the Hota family from Olovo.
As he told us, he represents Mirsad Hota, whose brother Atif passed away on March 4th. The report was submitted due to doubts about the manner of treatment of Atif Hota, as well as due to non-submission of documentation.
It is shocking, as they told us, that Atif Hota was treated as a COVID patient, although a PCR test showed he was negative for the coronavirus. Atif Hota was admitted to KCUS on February 24th and he passed away on March 4th.
As his brother Mirsad told for "Avaz", he had trouble breathing.
- A quick test showed suspicion of COVID-19. The moment they received him, he was aware, he was kidding. Two hours later, he falls into a coma and is put on a respirator. The next day, the PCR test showed that he was negative. All death tests were negative. He was lying at the Clinic for Infectious Diseases all the time and was connected to a respirator - Mirsad tells us.

Atif Hota's doctors also did a CT scan of his head, which determined that he had brain edema. The day before his death, on March 3rd, he was transferred from the Infectious Diseases Clinic to the old surgery building. He died during the night, his brother says.
- Nobody informed me about his death, until 4 PM I was trying to get information about how he was. When I managed to talk to the nurse, she first told me he wasn’t treated there. After a long reassurance that he was treated there, she hung up. I heard that she was talking to someone and then she called me and said: "This one passed away last night" - says Mirsad Hota.
Then came another shock. He wandered from clinic to clinic for days trying to get a death certificate and a discharge papers.
- I was forced to call the police. To whomever they sent me, I received the answer that "they did not treat him." There is no documentation anywhere. I went around whole hospital, so that a doctor would come to me and give me a discharge, saying: "Here it is, freshly printed." Only after six days I managed to get a discharge letter - Hota tells us.
Lawyer Koldžo told us that there were illogicalities in the statements from KCUS.
- One doctor said that Atif Hota was connected to a respirator with a high flow of oxygen, while another doctor stated the opposite, that he was connected to one with a low flow of oxygen. It is impossible for his brother to look for the documentation for days and for it to be lost when it has to be in the computer - Koldžo told us.
