"They put a white sheet on me, 17 minutes in the morgue"/ Behgjet Pacolli tells the touching story, this is how he escaped death twice: An accident paralyzed me...

The well-known businessman Behgjet Pacolli spoke this Thursday in an interview with Blendi Fevziu in "Opinion" about his personal life.

It's almost unbelievable, but he says there's a second time he's escaped death. An accident in 1980 with a car caused him serious injuries, so much so that the doctors at the hospital where he was sent considered him dead.

But it was a pad where Pacolli had written his contact numbers that did the "miracle".

-At this time, when you had started working in business in Switzerland, you suffered a very serious accident.

Behgjet Pacolli: In 1980 in Ljubljana, it was the time when Tito was in the same hospital and was spending the last days of his life. I crashed in front of Ljubljana and was unconscious for 28 days.

-28 days without consciousness?! And then you stayed dressed for a long time?

Behgjet Pacolli: I was paralyzed because the photos today show that I have a construction, these holes here are... I kept a metal construction to hold me...

- Was the neck able to hold the weight of the head? Is it true that at the first moment of the accident they thought you were dead?

Behgjet Pacolli: They thought I was going to die, and the man who pulled me from that hat where we keep the dead, a doctor who was the head of the hospital whose director came only 17 minutes after I was taken to the morgue. He comes and says where is this patient? When they take off my bloody jacket, my phone number pad rings. That girl opens the block and her eyes fall on Mahmut Bakalli.

- Who was a member of the Political Bureau of Yugoslavia...

Behgjet Pacolli: I njohur. Ajo e merr në telefon Bakallin dhe është shumë interesant që thirr pikërisht këtë numër, se aty kanë qenë disa numra. E thërret numrin e shtëpisë, aty lajmërohet drejtpërdrejtë Mahmuti dhe ai thotë si është e mundur. Ajo i thotë që Behgjeti është këtu dhe është në gjendje të vështirë. Bakalli thërret homologun e tij, ai drejtorin e spitalit dhe ky i fundit doktorin e zemrës. Ky vjen aty dhe në momentin e parë që ma heqin çarçafin e bardhë dhe kam filluar të derdh gjak nga goja. Ai e bën një bypass në mënyrën më primitive, me një pompë e pret venën dhe bën të mundur që gjaku të shkojë në tru. Për arsye se zemra dhe organet e tjera këtej kanë qenë të bllokuara. Aty fillon çdo gjë të funksionojë mirë, po ata nuk e dinin se unë isha i paralizuar. Pas 4 muajve ata e kuptuan se unë nuk mund të lëvizja dhe më vunë atë konstruksionin.
