An American named Jim recently shared his very positive experience from Serbia on social media, emphasizing several times during the interview that the country saved his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everything happened after an incident on a plane, after which he urgently needed medical assistance\u2014an occasion when Serbs once again demonstrated their humanity and professionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Serbian healthcare system, its efficiency, and great compassion impressed this American visitor, who now often says that if the same thing had happened while he was in the United States, he would likely not be alive today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf I had been in America, I would be dead now. On the plane on the way here (to Serbia), we experienced severe turbulence. I was in the bathroom when the plane suddenly dropped about 100 meters. I thought we were going to die. What happened was that my tailbone hit the aluminum surface in the bathroom. It compressed my spine and locked the back of my neck, so I was pumping more blood to my brain than I should have. I had what is called an ischemic stroke,\u201d he explained at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
