“Died” on the plane – received care after landing
A man was pronounced dead on a charter flight from Lanzarote earlier this week.
But after the landing at Landvetter, medical personnel discovered, according to information to GP, that the man had a pulse. He was then taken to hospital.
CPR was started during the flight. But according to the travel company Tui, “the man’s life did not seem to be able to be saved”.
The man was secured with seat belts and blankets – and the flight continued another hour to Gothenburg.
– In this case, it is established that the man is lifeless and then they continue to the final destination, which was relatively close, according to the existing routines, says Adam Györki, communications manager at the travel company TUI, to the newspaper.
He cannot comment on the information that the man must have had a pulse.
– We can only state that with our assessment, and with the equipment we have on the flights, he appeared lifeless.
Neither the Sahlgrenska hospital nor the police have been able to provide any information about how the man fared.

The “Elegance Study” at Lund University has received harsh criticism.
But now the Appeals Board for Ethics Review states that no error has been committed. It reports South Sweden.
The participants in the study were not aware that their appearance was being graded and the study was therefore reported for deviation from good research practice.
– It feels good that it’s over. It’s never fun to be reported. At the same time, I have always known what I have done and was confident that it was correct, says PhD student Adrian Mehic, who carried out the study, to Sydsvenskan.
However, he is not satisfied with the support from his own university and therefore chooses to file a legal complaint against those responsible in the university’s board for how they handled the case.
He believes that people in the university’s management must have misled with incorrect information.
– It feels like they always wanted to bring me down.

Regarding Sweden’s health care being a disaster, I wonder why no one is addressing this? When there are surgery queues of several years, it costs to have all these people unable to work, medicine, home help, travel service etc. Healthcare is rewarded with more money from the state but nothing happens. Wasn’t it right to withdraw the money until the queues are shortened?
Maria
Hello Maria! The care queues are a big problem, but to my ears it sounds a bit counterproductive to pull in the money needed to carry out all the surgeries? However, it is probably important to follow up that the money that is paid out goes to what it is supposed to.
“Increased number of threats against Sweden,” says Säpo.
Who is Sweden?
Jan Söderman
Hi Jan! Not sure if I understand your question here. Säpo says that there are threats of attacks directed at Sweden and Swedish interests abroad, then one can imagine that there are threats of attacks within Sweden’s borders or against Swedish embassies, such as an embassy or the like. Here you can read our article on the matter.
Where can the Red Cross and other rescue teams be found in Turkey, because there doesn’t seem to be anyone knowledgeable leading the rescue work? You understand if people are scared, sad and upset
The sun
Rescue workers are on site in several places, but as I understand it, it is difficult to reach some areas, partly due to the weather and the fact that a lot of infrastructure such as roads and airports have been destroyed in the earthquake.
Why don’t you write about the scandal in Botkyrka and the connection between the Social Democrats and criminal gangs?
