“Well, as soon as a man surrenders the other’s soul, it gives vent to his feelings. I am still ashamed of becoming angry and swearing as probably every normal Slovak would. Maybe I am not normal, but I don’t know why I started swearing. By concurrence of circumstances, all the events cumulated to the fact that the woman had to die there, since she also had a scull trephination, as I later found out. She was from Russia and she stayed in a room alone. Maybe she said to herself: ‘I will enjoy it here and pass away.’ But my question is: why did she have to die right when I was there? Why couldn’t she have delayed it at least by a week? I don’t know. Maybe it was destiny, but I really gave vent to my feelings back then.”

“When I started to do a first aid coach, when I was just a learner, there were people who told me: ‘Let’s hope you will never need to use in practice what you have learned here, since you always want the person you are saving to live!’ Back then I thought: ‘What the heck are you talking about?’ However, later all of it got clear. Everything I thought I wouldn’t know, I knew right away, just as it was needed.”
