Dr Athena Savvidou

An unempathic bully

In 2020, not only did Dr Savvidou bully me until I attempted suicide and lost my cochlear implants, she also neglected to tell ICU staff I was deaf. I suffered ten days on a ventilator, not because I wanted to end my life, but because she bul**** me to the point where there was no other option. There are those 'who fall' to their death, there are others, like me, 'who are pushed'. I was coerced whilst hysterically upset to tell witnesses that she must continue as my physician. I have Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and was dealing with a severe crash which rendered me bedbound. I was instructed by this doctor to 'take a hike' around the hospital grounds. I had to get ME/CFS South Africa to intervene. To this day, Olive'fail' is my worst C-PTSD trigger, and I thank my physician for every night I stay awake having panic attacks and flashbacks.
