Saakashvili’s personal doctor: Maybe we should release this person and let him be treated normally

The treatment process is going well, but it does not mean that Misha Saakashvili will be healthy unless we solve the refeeding problem. I guarantee you he will not be healthy. He needs long-term rehabilitation of various organs, brain, liver, etc. That is why I am asking such a question - maybe we should release this person and let him be treated normally, - Nikoloz Kipshidze, the personal doctor of the third president, told journalists after visiting Saakashvili in Gori hospital.

“We must pay special attention to his neurological condition today. Doctor Sandro Tsiskaridze has already told you about it and we will probably look at how he will be in the coming days. As for the feeding, he has already started to eat, this process is going on normally, but once again, no one knows what will happen, how it will all continue. Our president should be given special attention," Kipshidze said.

He said the president is thankful to the hospital and liked the staff very much.

"He feels comfortable, but I want to explain in two words what I think. In my opinion, treatment in such conditions is impossible for such a patient. His rehabilitation should be quite long. I can not tell you how long it will be - one month, two months, three, or four months - his rehabilitation should continue for a long time. Therefore, my sincere opinion as a doctor is that, my colleagues may not agree with me and the Georgian population may not agree with me, but if I could make a decision, I would allow such a person to be treated outside prison," Nikoloz Kipshidze said, adding that he meant free treatment.
