The Washington Post is reporting about an interview of Cuban revolutionary leader, Fidel Castro, with Mexican daily La Jornada. The interview was published today. To read it (in Spanish) click here.
Cuba's former President said "I was at death's door, but I came back."
In the five-hour interview with La Jornada's editor, Castro said that during the illness his weight fell to 145 pounds (66 kilograms) - extremely thin for a man thought to be about 6-foot-3 (190 centimeters) and known for his large frame - but that he is now back up to 190 pounds (86 kilograms).
"I couldn't aspire to live any longer, much less anything else," Castro said. "I asked myself several times if these people (the doctors) would let me live under these conditions or whether they would allow me to die."

JG: I highly recommend that if you are fluent in Spanish you should read the original La Jornada interview. One more time, the high quality of Cuban medical care, has been proven to all.
