Nearly 27 years after Princess Diana’s tragic death, Dr. MonSef Dahman — the French surgeon who fought to save her — has finally spoken out, sharing haunting details that have stunned many. Back then, Dr. Dahman was a 33-year-old general surgeon on call at Paris’s prestigious Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, and he remembers every detail of that fateful night on August 31, 1997.

For decades, much of what happened in the emergency room stayed behind closed doors. Now, breaking his long silence, Dr. Dahman is offering a rare glimpse into the desperate measures taken to try to save the beloved royal. He recalls receiving an urgent call about a VIP patient involved in a devastating car crash. Only upon arriving at the ER did he realize the gravely injured woman was Diana, Princess of Wales.

Her injuries were catastrophic — severe internal trauma that left her in critical condition. When Dr. Dahman joined the medical team, resuscitation efforts were already underway. The team worked tirelessly, performing complex procedures and fighting to control massive internal bleeding. Despite their relentless efforts, including an intense hour of cardiac massage, they could not reverse the damage, particularly the rupture of a vital vein near her heart.

The experience left a deep and lasting impression on Dr. Dahman, who described the night as profoundly traumatic. “We did everything we could,” he emphasized. “We fought hard; we tried everything humanly possible.” His revelations have stirred fresh emotions among the public, bringing renewed focus to the heartbreaking final moments inside that emergency room.

Dr. Dahman’s reflections serve not only as a reminder of the overwhelming grief that followed Diana’s passing but also as a tribute to the dedication and determination of the medical team that fought for her. After years of silence, his account offers a poignant, behind-the-scenes look at the desperate efforts to save the People’s Princess — a fight that, despite all they gave, ended in heartbreaking loss.
