I am shocked by the article published today on the Radio ZET website, which describes the situation of my husband in a very serious condition in an unprecedented and humiliating way.
For my family and myself, the article is unimaginable and incomprehensible suffering. I think it is a scandalous situation to inform about the state of health in this way. Suffice it to say that my family was not aware of many details about my husband Stanisław’s health.
The health of relatives, especially in such a serious condition, is one of the most painful topics for all loved ones. Today, in Holy Week of Easter, much harm and injustice has been done to my family.
It is difficult to describe how my loved ones and I feel when reading the Radio ZET material. Such things are usually not done. Both humanly, out of empathy and understanding of the family’s pain, and for legal reasons – the law prohibits informing about the health of private individuals. In addition, I spent almost an hour this week with the editors discussing the complexity of the situation, the details and how difficult it is for my family. Unfortunately, Radio ZET omitted this fact and wrote that it had not received any information from me.
My husband, Stanisław Witek, has been in a serious health condition for two years, requiring constant hospital intervention. He is in his regional hospital in Legnica. Doctors have been trying to save his life for two years. I have never sought special treatment for my husband, or a transfer from the district hospital, or any other extraordinary measures legally available to me and my family in connection with the office held. I leave all medical matters to the doctors of the hospital in Legnica, whom I fully trust and respect for their work.
Decisions regarding the course of treatment and procedures are the sole responsibility of the hospital’s medical team. In this regard, I am appalled by the operation of Radio ZET, which, just because I am a public figure, uses my husband’s health in a scandalous way for political activities. This is bad. I will definitely take legal action against this.
