TRANSCRIPT

In fact everything went very fast, I think I didn't even have time to say goodbye to my wife, she had kept my (-) my bag and then uh I just remember that I got a mask and I fell asleep. I think it was that very night and I stayed asleep for a week (-) in an artificial coma. And it seems that for three days the doctors tried to watch my oxygen which should have gone up and then it went down instead and then after that there were three days of intubation. So for 72 hours I was intubated. I remember the intensive care unit where I was in a cubicle, there were 7 or 8 uh (-) the nurses took good care of me, the medical team, a doctor accompanied by assistants came to check on me. I remember things like that. But it was quite confusing when I woke up and then the few days that followed.
