Humanity Above Team Colors
A moment that transcended the boundaries of sports occurred on Tuesday evening, when Olympiakos' medical staff rushed to help a young Fenerbahçe fan who suffered an epileptic seizure immediately after the friendly match between the two teams ended.
Recognition from Turkish Fans
The reaction from Turkish fans was immediate and heartwarming. Messages of respect and gratitude flooded social media:
"Respect to the Greek team," "thank you for everything," "their action deserves many 'bravos'"
Those who witnessed the incident firsthand burst into applause, recognizing the immediate and professional intervention of the Greek doctors.
Dr. Christos Theos' Testimony
The head of the "red and white" medical staff, Dr. Christos Theos, described the procedure followed to sport24.gr:
"Indeed, those who were there applauded, because not even Fenerbahçe's doctors who were at the stadium intervened. We saw a person having convulsions, loss of consciousness, and we provided first aid until the ambulance arrived. That, and nothing more."
When Medicine Transcends Borders
This incident serves as a brilliant example of how medical ethics and human solidarity transcend team colors and national differences. The immediate response of Olympiakos' medical staff under Dr. Theos' guidance demonstrates the professionalism and humanity that characterizes Greek sports medicine.
