The heat isn&#8217;t as intense, there aren&#8217;t many people, the days are quieter, and prices are lower. However, this year, for what seems to be many Serbian citizens, the <strong>end of the season in Greece did not bring the expected enjoyment, but stress, pain, and\u2014serious health problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Facebook groups for Greece enthusiasts, for the past few days, the numerous appeals for help have dominated alongside photos of the sea. <strong>Instead of recommendations for <em>gyros<\/em> and beaches, people are increasingly asking for transport to Serbia, blood donors, translators for hospitals&#8230;<\/strong> A post by a woman named Jelena in the <em>Gr\u010dka info<\/em> Facebook group a few days ago alarmed people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;People, I need help. Is anyone heading to Belgrade tonight or tomorrow morning from Thassos?! I need to get home urgently\u2014my son isn&#8217;t well. He is in Belgrade, he is 19, and he is in the hospital. I found a return flight for tomorrow at 10:30, but I am looking for someone who is driving earlier. Thank you, and may God bless you,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A woman named <strong>Svetlana<\/strong> also pleaded for urgent transport to Serbia from Nei Pori a few days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Please, if anyone is going to Serbia today\u2014get in touch. It is urgent.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then\u2014more serious cases. At the beginning of September, one member of the <em>Gr\u010dka info<\/em> group posted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I need <strong>3 voluntary blood donors<\/strong>. My mother broke her hip in Pefkochori and is scheduled for surgery tomorrow in Polygyros. Blood type does not matter.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few days earlier, a <strong>boy from Serbia&#8217;s appendix burst<\/strong>\u2014fortunately, doctors in Greece reacted quickly and the surgery was successful. The mother later posted an emotional thank you to the doctors, stating they were &#8220;exceptionally professional and kind.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A woman named <strong>An\u0111ela<\/strong> sought help because her mother ended up in intensive care, but she couldn&#8217;t communicate with the doctors. She asked for someone who knows Greek to call the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Hello everyone, I need help urgently! My mother is currently in <strong>Thessaloniki in intensive care<\/strong> (respiratory ward) and we&#8217;ve been in contact with the hospital for two days, but unfortunately, both my English and theirs are at a basic level, and we simply cannot get concrete information due to the language barrier. Is anyone able to help us and call the ward tomorrow morning and talk to them in Greek? Thank you in advance!&#8221; she wrote on <em>Gr\u010dka info<\/em> a few days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizens from the region were not spared either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A man from North Macedonia shared a few days ago that his wife and 2.5-month-old baby had been in the hospital in <strong>Kavala<\/strong> for three days, and he, for the first time, did not have insurance. In uncertainty, he asked if anyone knew how the treatment of children works in state Greek hospitals and what the costs are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"MKfLTrd0q8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/srbija-kupila-jos-malo-vremena-amerikanci-ponovo-odlozili-sankcije-za-nis-evo-na-koliko-dana\/\">SRBIJA KUPILA JO\u0160 MALO VREMENA: Amerikanci ponovo odlo\u017eili sankcije za NIS, evo na koliko dana!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#132;SRBIJA KUPILA JO\u0160 MALO VREMENA: Amerikanci ponovo odlo\u017eili sankcije za NIS, evo na koliko dana!&#147; &#8212; Serbiantimes.info\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/srbija-kupila-jos-malo-vremena-amerikanci-ponovo-odlozili-sankcije-za-nis-evo-na-koliko-dana\/embed\/#?secret=AJMsOBxq4M#?secret=MKfLTrd0q8\" data-secret=\"MKfLTrd0q8\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, the most tragic case was recorded on September 21st\u2014<strong>Goran Trajkovi\u0107<\/strong>, an architect from Vranje, <strong>died from the consequences of a stroke<\/strong> during his vacation. Although doctors at the hospital in Thessaloniki did everything they could, Goran did not survive. He left behind a wife and three children, and the family is now appealing for help, as they did not have travel insurance and are facing huge costs for hospital treatment and the transport of the body back to Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Greece, by the way, as Kurir reported, in just two and a half months this year, from June 1st to mid-August, as many as <strong>30 of our citizens died<\/strong>. Although there were cases of drowning, the most frequent cause of death was actually heart problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MORE TOPICS: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/mural-dedicated-to-charlie-kirk-painted-over-in-belgrade-the-work-of-the-same-left-wing-ideology-that-cost-kirk-his-life\/\" title=\"\">MURAL DEDICATED TO CHARLIE KIRK PAINTED OVER IN BELGRADE: \u201cThe Work of the Same Left-Wing Ideology that Cost Kirk His Life\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/in-the-footsteps-of-ancestors-famous-serbian-actor-originally-from-kosovo-metohija-baptizes-son-in-gracanica\/\" title=\"\">\u201cIN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ANCESTORS\u201d: Famous Serbian Actor, Originally from Kosovo-Metohija, Baptizes Son in Gra\u010danica!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbia-buys-a-little-more-time-americans-once-again-postpone-sanctions-on-nis-heres-for-how-many-days\/\" title=\"\">SERBIA BUYS A LITTLE MORE TIME: Americans Once Again Postpone Sanctions on NIS, Here\u2019s for How Many Days!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbia-gains-a-world-champion-in-a-new-sport-gabor-writes-history-and-becomes-chess-boxing-champion\/\" title=\"\">SERBIA GAINS A WORLD CHAMPION IN A NEW SPORT!
