The minister of security of the province of Buenos Aires, Sergio Berni, spoke in the program Podemos Hablar on Saturday night about the death of Diego Maradona, who was his patient 20 years ago, and felt that “his last years were a torment”. The official, who is also a lawyer as a doctor, revealed: “I met Diego, I had the privilege and honor of being in the group of doctors who in 2001 diagnosed the first early symptoms of dilated cardiomyopathy and from there we had worked a relationship more than anything medical-patient.”
“We had an imaging center. I remember Diego had to travel to Saudi Arabia to advertise and, at Dr. Cahe’s request, we had to do a check-up. That’s when we discovered the first indirect symptoms of what his subsequent heart disease was,” added Berni, who at the time worked alongside Alfredo Cahe, historical physician of the Ten.However, despite their close relationship, the minister said that “the news was not a shock, nor did it shock him because she was seen coming.” “I’m one of those people who thinks Diego was preparing that, I was looking for him. Those of us who are related to the patient see that of life and death, when the patient gives himself up,” he said. And finally, he closed: “Maradona’s last years were a torment. Being Maradona ceded more than any of the diseases and addictions. I was in an environment harmful to him. He found peace on that path.”
