Greece: Investigation ordered at hospital where patient died after bribery claim

Greece: Hospital probe into bribery-death claim
by DEREK GATOPOULOS, Associated Press - 15 July 2014 10:34-04:00
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A judicial inquiry is taking place at a state hospital in Athens where a 67-year-old heart patient died after allegedly being denied timely surgery by a doctor seeking a bribe.
Judicial officials in a statement Tuesday said the investigation was ordered Monday, a day after the patient died.
The 59-year-old surgeon and hospital administrator was arrested last week after receiving a payment of 500 euros ($680) from the heart attack victim in an operation monitored by police. He has been changed with bribery and blackmail.
The patient received heart surgery on Saturday but died the following day.
Bribery remains widespread in Greece, which is ranked by the Berlin-based Transparency International watchdog group as one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.

NYC man's long-lost class ring turns up in Greece
by VERENA DOBNIK, Associated Press - 15 July 2014 10:51-04:00
NEW YORK (AP) — More than 40 years after a New York man last saw his high school class ring, the love token his wife had until their wedding night popped up on a Greek island.
How it got to Naxos after it disappeared with his bride's purse at their wedding reception is a mystery. But earlier this month, the ring arrived by mail on Staten Island.
"It doesn't fit me anymore," said Stan Ostapiak, a retired police officer. "But my wife will put it back on her key chain, so we can go steady again."
Ostapiak, 69, graduated from a Manhattan high school in 1962. About a decade later, his wife's clutch purse was stolen — with the ring inside — the night they were married.
Fast forward four decades: a young Greek man on the island of Naxos came across the ring in his late father's belongings, with the name of the now defunct Seward Park High School in New York engraved inside.
After some research on the Internet, the finder got in touch with the head of the school's alumni association, which contacted Ostapiak, a resident of the city's borough of Staten Island.
The ring soon arrived by registered mail, polished and gleaming in a new box.
"I hope this ring brings you joy and happiness, and maybe some old memories," the sender, Vasilis Polykretis, wrote on a postcard.

We need to look into his work and ask him to resign. But hes greedy, so of course he wont. Its pretty good to get millions for doing nothing. The team lost and it doesnt affect his pay in any way. Thief! Even the way he looks makes it hard to like him. He looks like a schoolteacher.
