3. Joke about the guy from the anecdote, apparently all his American doctors died, while he is in his 90s on his little Greek island.
I hate this kind of reporting. I read through the entire first page without the slightest clue as to what the article is actually about -- I'm pretty sure it's not all just for one guy's life story. But by that point I was tired of reading, and quit. Cut it out with the pathos and human interest, and get some of the real point in there quicker.
