Gastroenterologist Stuart Finkel says condition of Mikheil Saakashvili's digestive system can lead to death

Gastroenterologist Stuart Finkel believes that the condition of the digestive system, which the former president of Georgia has, can lead to death.

Finkel stated the above in response to the question of Mikheil Saakashvili's lawyer Shalva Khachapuridze.

To the question: "With this type of treatment that he is receiving and with the dynamics of his gastroenterological condition, is it possible for Saakashvili to die if he does not urgently receive qualified treatment in the third-level clinics of Western Europe or the United States of America?" - the gastroenterologist noted that it is important to diagnose this problem and treat.

"The first question was, can a condition of the digestive system cause death?" - My answer is yes! As of today, this 47% weight loss that we are experiencing and that continues, if not properly diagnosed and treated, can lead to death," said Stuart Finkel.

In addition, the lawyer specified whether his position was categorical or not, to which Finkel replied: "Yes, it is categorical and strong”.
