And the rest of us, there were some doctors and some friends, and we sat a little longer. At one point the doctor who was at Kremastinos’ leg came agitated and said that the president is not well. There was a great commotion. I entered Andreas’ room with a doctor.
The doctor asked me to help him to try to resuscitate him. We took the clothes off the president, the doctor did special massages to revive him. He also had the cardiogram machine and the line was straight, meaning the end had come. He could not be revived.
In the end, the doctor visibly saddened left the room and I was left with Andreas, now dead. I closed his eyes”, Telemachos Chytiris finally added».
