The Friend From Mexico: A True Story of Surviving an Intensive Care Unit

Hello, my name is Apostolos and I was born again on the sixth of February 2009 in a clinic in Mexico. These are the somewhat intense memories from the first one and a half month of my new life. The author had a mid-air collision with a fellow competitor at 10,000ft while participating in the 2009 World Paragliding Championships in Mexico, as a member of the Greek National Team. Two thirds of the book describes his near-death experience while in induced coma, and the rest of the book, the key events in the intensive care unit and his repatriation to Greece.

Paragliding was Apostolos' love and passion for over 20 years. He is a four time champion of Greece, and has participated in various international competitions as a member of the Greek National Team.
