(Attested by Fr. Ioannis Niryianakis)
At the hospital where I was working, a
student was admitted with a high temperature. This student was called
Stylianos Steryianos, was the son of Christos and Evangelia, and lived
in Patisia. His parents were my spiritual children, very devout people
and their son was a fine young man.
Well, Stelios [short form of Stylianos]
had a very high temperature for a very long period of time and nothing
would lower it past 39.5 (103). He was undiagnosed and in the end the
consultant, Professor Militadis Samartzis, together with his assistants,
came to the conclusion that Stelios’ illness was, in all likelihood,
some form of ‘macrocytic anaemia’. They used all available medication,
even large doses of cortisone, but to no avail.
