The chairman of the Finance Committee, MK Moshe Gafni, returned after a long absence, after suffering a heart attack, to conduct the discussions of the Finance Committee. At the beginning of the meeting, he greeted the blessing of retribution and told what had happened to him.
During Saturday about a month ago Gafni fell.
"I felt I could not walk, my wife told me not to close your eyes, I do not let you," Gaffney said at the hearing.
"So that the children would not worry, I went to Ezer Mitzion, there were two doctors, Arabs by chance, my friends. I asked them to give me a blow I got in the eye from the fall.
Gafni thought it was an exaggeration, but decided to go to Maayan Hayeshua Hospital.
"There was Dr. Zahalka, a cousin of a former Knesset member, he looks at me and does not tell jokes, we are friends, I ask him - what's going on?
Is he telling me this is your test?
I replied to him, since it is mine.
They immediately called the doctor, and brought him with his staff.
He told me you're undergoing a catheterization now, you're in the middle of an incident, he did not understand how I was laughing.
It was a miracle from heaven, I did not know I was in the middle of a heartbreaking event, I did not know I had a heart. "
"They brought in Prof. Agranat, the director of the department, who immediately did a catheterization and it saved my life," Gafni shared with members at the hearing.
He addressed the question of why his office kept a thunderous silence, which led to speculation: "The children made a decision, that they would not make a fuss about it, that it would be quiet, without headlines, so it was a source of concern, because they did not know what was happening to me. ".
"I praise the doctors in all the places who treated me, exceptionally. My children accompanied me throughout the hospitalization, in addition there was no Knesset employee or MK who was not interested in my well-being. I wish we would return to everyone happily, and thank God," Gafni concluded.
