Surgeon That Attempted To Save Princess Diana’s Life Recalls First-Hand Account Of Fatal Day

Jun 28, 2021 by apost team

Princess Diana was one of the most prominent figures of the royal family due to her class, glamour and kind heart. She was known for her impeccable sense of fashion, her charitable ways and her overall friendliness and charming personality with everyone around her. Loved by many, Diana was easily a topic of conversation and the center of attention wherever she went.

Born into the British nobility, she grew up close to the royal family, and later married into it when she married Prince Charles in 1981, thus making her the Princess of Wales. The general public had a fondness for the new princess and took to her liking pretty well. Together, Diana and Charles had two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. However, the couple’s marriage was full of problems, leading to a separation in 1992 and a divorce in 1996.

Diana died on August 31, 1997, from the injuries she sustained in a car crash in a tunnel in Paris, France, which caused widespread media attention and mourning from people all over the world. Her untimely death has been the topic of conversations for many years, as there are still plenty of questions surrounding the tragic incident.

In June 2021, a team of medical professionals spoke out to explain what happened in the early hours of the morning on the day that the Princess of Wales died. While many theories and conspiracies have circulated surrounding her death, the doctor and professors from that day explained the truth behind what really happened, and how severe Diana’s condition was.

The Independent reported that the doctors who fought to save Diana’s life have spoken out about how they tried “everything possible” to revive her. Dr. MonSef Dahman was a general surgeon at the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital in Paris and was called in to help treat a patient who had been in an accident.

Upon arriving, he was told that it was in fact the Princess of Wales, and he realized the severity of her condition. “It only took that moment for all this unusual activity to become clear to me,” he said. Dahman continued, “For any doctor, any surgeon, it is of very great importance to be faced with such a young woman who is in this condition. But of course even more so if she is a princess.”

After taking an X-ray, the doctor found that Diana was suffering from “very serious internal bleeding,” so he tried to remove the excess fluid from her chest cavity and gave her an external heart massage and emergency surgery to “enable her to breathe.”

The Independent reported that Diana had suffered a significant tear in her pericardium, which protects the heart. Professor Alain Pavie, a heart surgeon, arrived to help save Diana and discovered that she had a tear in her upper left pulmonary vein. Although Pavie was able to stitch up the lesion, Diana’s heart had already stopped and would not restart.

Professors Riou and Pavie and Dahman did all they could for a good hour to help save the princess, including electric shock, but nothing worked. Dahman revealed that not being able to save the Princess of Wales affected him “very much.” The team chose to speak out now to help reiterate that the French emergency medical staff did everything they possibly could to help save Diana.
