\nSurgeon MonSef Dahman, the surgeon who tried to save Princess Diana\u2019s life, talked about what happened that night when Princess Diana was involved in the car crash which took her life.\n
\u201cThe thought that you have lost an important person, for whom you cared personally, marks you for life,\u201d Dahman shared.\n
Dahman was at the hospital that night, because his wife was pregnant. He shared that he was supposed to be on holiday, but since his wife\u2019s due day was close, they chose to stay in Paris instead of being away on holiday.\n
\n
Dahman stated that the day started easy than most of his days at the hospital. Things changed dramatically at 2 a.m.\n
At 12:23 a.m., the car Princess Diana was in crashed in a tunnel. She suffered cardiac arrest while she was on her way to the hospital. It was 02:06 a.m. when Diana was at the hospital.\n
\u201cI was resting in the duty room when I got a call from Bruno Riou, the senior duty anaesthetist, telling me to go to the emergency room,\u201d Dahman said.\n
\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t told it was Lady Diana, but [only] that there\u2019d been a serious accident involving a young woman.\u201d\n
He was told that the person in the room was Princess Diana, and then Dahman realized the situation. \u201cIt only took that moment for all this unusual activity to become clear to me,\u201d Dahman said.\n
\u201cFor any doctor, any surgeon, it is of very great importance to be faced with such a young woman who is in this condition. But ofcourse even more so if she is a princess.\u201d\n
\n
After 15 minutes passed since Diana arrived at the hospital, and she again suffered another cardiac arrest. \u201cWe tried electric shocks, several times and, as I had done in the emergency room, cardiac massage,\u201d Dahman said. \u201cProfessor Riou had administered adrenaline. But we could not get her heart beating again.\u201d\n
\u201cWe fought hard, we tried a lot, really an awful lot,\u201d Dahman continued. \u201cFrankly, when you are working in those conditions, you don\u2019t notice the passage of time. The only thing that is important is that we do everything possible for this young woman.\u201d\n
\u201cWe could not save her. And that affected us very much.\u201d\n
MonSef Dahman shared that he is thinking about that day in 1997. He stated that he watched the funeral from TV, just like any other person on the planet.\n
\n\u201cI don\u2019t go back to it all the time because a lot of years have gone by,\u201d Dahman said. \u201cBut every time a new book [about Diana\u2019s death] has come out [in France], it has been sent to me. So I have a collection of such books, unfortunately.\u201d\n
Royal expert Richard Kay was the last person Princess Diana spoke with before she passed away. \u201cI spoke to her that night. The police said that the last call she made was to me,\u201d Kay explained.\n
And a year after Diana\u2019s passing, royal author Howard Hogson had talked about the late princess. \u201cShe was well aware that the Queen had the constitutional right and authority under common law to take control of both boys\u2019 care and education,\u201d Hodgson shared.\n
\u201cAs such she could become the boys\u2019 guardian or even appoint one: this would probably be their father and that might lead to Diana\u2019s exclusion if she finally burned all her bridges with the Royal Family.\u201d\n
\n
\u201cShe was desperate to try and make a fresh start and do something different, to explore a different kind of Royalty,\u201d Richard Kay shared about Diana\u2019s actions after her split with then-Prince Charles. \u201cAnd she wanted to come back and see her boys.\u201d\n
On the 20th anniversary of Diana\u2019s passing, in 2017, her children Prince Harry and Prince William talked about the memory of their mother. \u201cWhen everybody says \u2018she was funny, give us an example\u2019. All I can hear is her laugh,\u201d Prince Harry said.\n
\u201cShe was one of the naughtiest parents, she\u2019d come and watch us play football and smuggle sweet into her socks, literally walking back from a football match and having five packages of [candy]. And just, the whole shirt was full with sweets.\u201d\n
\u201cWe felt incredibly loved by her, and I\u2019m very grateful that the love still feels there,\u201d Prince William commented. \u201cIt feels like a good time to remember her and hopefully provide a different side.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
