As the head of Greece largest oncology department, Dr. Kostas Syrigos thought he had seen everything. But nothing prepared him for Elena, an unemployed woman whose breast cancer had been diagnosed a year before she came to him.

By that time, her cancer had grown to the size of an orange and broken through the skin, leaving a wound that she was draining with paper napkins. “When we saw her we were speechless,” said Dr. Syrigos, the chief of oncology at Sotiria general hospital in central Athens. “Everyone was crying. things like that are described in textbooks, but you never see them because until now, anybody who got sick in this country could always get help.” - nytimes
