Dimitris Chryssopoulos caught intra-hospital infection, not once but twice, with the last one to be lethal. During dialysis in Northern Hospital of Melbourne he contracted the highly contagious Hepatitis B virus and died within a few weeks. He was only 46 years old. His mother Kesaria and his sister Catherine spoke to SBS Radio Greek and Emma Papaemmanouil about how unfairly they lost Dimitri, who went to the hospital to get well and ended up losing his life.
