Prime Minister Edi Rama, while having Archbishop Joan as a guest on the podcast "Flasim", recalled the moment when his son, Greg Rama, was placed in a medically induced coma after being diagnosed with cancer.

The head of government said that this was a dramatic moment in his life, emphasizing that "things actually went so badly that he went into a medically induced coma."

Rama said it was unknown if his son would ever return, as the doctor treating him told him, " For the first 24 hours, any news will be bad news, we hope we don't have any news."

Edi Rama: I remember an incident I experienced with the doctor who treated my son, who went through a very dramatic moment with cancer, and in fact things went so badly that he went into a medically induced coma, and it was not known whether he would come back or not. I was with him after he went into a coma and I said, "What now?" He said, "For the first 24 hours, any news will be bad news, let's hope we don't have any news."

The first 24 hours were terrifying, at any moment someone could come out of that reanimation area and say... when I ask her "how's it going?" She raises her head and gestures? I said 'what is the ceiling showing me, I'm talking to a scientist, not a priest'. And she says to me "On this floor, (it was the floor for children with cancer) I've seen things that science hasn't been able to explain to me yet".

There was a hospital chapel and it would bring announcements that at x hour, the team and I would pray for Greg, or they would do it for other children as well.

I said to him, 'What's this story about going to the Chapel and praying, what does this have to do with therapy?' You told me that 'we need it, we feel very good when we do it, we get energy.' He was clearly a man who believed, but he said, call it what you will, I know that there is mystery and from that area of ​​mystery come things to this floor that we cannot predict or explain later.
