One of the 33 men rescued from a mine in northern Chile has said he plans to go back to mining, but would demand safety measures before doing so.
All but two of the miners have been discharged from hospital in Copiapo since their rescue earlier this week.
In an interview with the BBC, Omar Reygadas said the men see life from a different perspective following their ordeal after been trapped deep underground for 69 days.
Mr Reygadas said he would campaign for safer working conditions.
Twenty-eight of the men were discharged secretly last night in order to avoid intense media attention.
One of the two still in hospital has dental problems, while the other is suffering from vertigo.
Doctors have said the men were in surprisingly good medical condition following their ordeal, but that psychological problems could emerge in the coming weeks.
Paola Neumann, a spokesperson for the hospital in the town of Copiapo, said it was too soon to say if the men were suffering from post-traumatic stress.
Victor Segovia, known as the writer in the group, described the experience as a living nightmare.
‘The good thing about being free is that when you have a bad dream you wake up and realise it was a dream. But inside (the mine), we would wake up in the nightmare,’ he said.
‘We had problems, like in all families,’ he added. ‘A lot of time together. Problems started, arguments, but nothing serious.’
The men have declined to comment when asked to describe the hardest situations they faced during their ordeal. Some relatives have hinted at a pact of silence among the men over the worst of the trauma.
In a complex but flawless operation under Chile's Atacama Desert, the miners were hauled out one by one through 2,050 feet (625 metres) of rock in a metal capsule little wider than a man's shoulders and dubbed ‘Phoenix’ after the mythical bird that rose from the ashes.
A top Chilean government official said the rescue operation cost about $18m and suggested the capsule - painted red, blue and white, like the Chilean flag - might go on a world tour.
