Wahlstrom obtained a letter written by Julia Tuulik to one of the producers of the Arte documentary SuperCells:
Everything is very, very bad with me. I have spent over six months in the hospital in Krasnodar. I have undergone over 30 surgeries under general anesthesia. Three weeks after the first operation was opened a purulent fistula my neck, and my neck rot since. I weigh 47 kg. I can barely walk. I have trouble breathing, and now I have no voice. And it smells so strongly of me that people backs away. The other patient stink same. Artificial trachea is just crap.
Unfortunately, Julia.

Facts 3. Description of the process for Patient 3
The third patient is a 22 year old woman from Turkey. At a sweat surgery in July 2011 in Turkey damaged her windpipe. They tried unsuccessfully to repair the damage by sewing, resistant, and put a flap of chest muscle. After being assessed for a synthetic trachea transplantation in March 2012, she checked in at the Karolinska University Hospital July 23, 2012. Her condition was assessed as being stable, but she suffered from recurrent cough. She was not assessed at any journaled multidisciplinary conference. It should be noted that two Turkish professors in Thoracic Surgery has certified that they participated in a multidisciplinary meeting before operations [3]. We do not have been able to identify the exact circumstances of this meeting.

In the second episode ofDokument inifrån, it was mentioned thatKarolinska in Stockholm had helped with the final selection [of patients to receive surgery in Russia]. This is information that the documentary makers obtained from the Russian project's website. There are memoranda from an international video conference that took place in February 2012, attended by a number of employees of KI and Karolinska University Hospital. The Swedish participants have a completely different view. According to them, the purpose was to try to see if it was possible to meet over continents with the aid of video technology (in this case Russia, Sweden, Italy and the USA). At this video conference, experiences from previous and current patient cases were shared, which is also the view that emerges when going through the memoranda from the meeting. The claim that patients would have been selected for transplantation in Russia in this context is something that the Swedish participants do not confirm. This was also the only video conference arranged as it was established that the current technology did not enable the displaying of x-ray images, for example.Vice Chancellor Hamsten is referring to this document: International Videoconference Report 2012-02-16: http://www.circare.org/info/pm/report_videoconf_eng.pdf
Imaging looks fine here: http://regmedgrant.ksma.ru/pict/foto7_7.jpg Yes, this is the videoconference, see smaller image here: http://regmedgrant.ksma.ru/pict/videoconf.jpg
This is KI's response to reports of Paolo Macchiarini's arrest during investigation of allegations he demanded large sums of money from vulnerable severely ill patients to operate on them in private clinics, falsely claiming operations couldn't be done for free in timely manner. By the way suspected criminal conduct is not mainly matters of healthcare administration
, rather it goes to the heart of a phyician's duty to put his patients' welfare before his own interests:
KI monitors Italian legal case Karolinska Institute Press Release 2012-09-28 http://ki.se/en/news/ki-monitors-italian-legal-case
It has been reported in the Swedish and international media that an employee of Karolinska Institutet is suspected of criminal conduct in Italy. The KI management is monitoring developments in the case - which mainly concerns matters of healthcare administration - but is taking no further action for the time being.
At present we have no reason at all to doubt our colleague or the research he does here,
says university director Bengt Norrving. We're in regular touch with him and are keeping a watchful eye on how the legal case against him in Italy unfolds.
