Snow-covered mountains attract Slovaks to their favorite winter activities. Member of the NR SR František Majerský (KDH) wanted to enjoy a beautiful winter fairy tale, but ended up in the hospital. “Skialp on Panská holi, lots of snow, silence of the mountains, wonderful route. I went with our chairman Milan Majerský, his son and friend Rast. Unbelievable beauty, just the kind of day you won’t forget,” he wrote at the beginning of the post on Facebook.
However, the tip of the politician’s ski came off on the slope in Teplička. “The first time I stopped it, turned on the ski and continued. Not the second time…fall, huge pain in the shoulder. I sat on the slope, my fingers aching, I checked my collarbone – it was fine. But not the arm. I knew he was out,” describes dramatic moments. An unknown girl stopped by Majerski and when she found out that he was injured, she left without hesitation to get help.
They took him to the car on scooters, Majerský refused the ambulance. “I believed I could endure it,” he explained. The chairman of the KDH offered to take a colleague to the central reception in Poprad. “The journey was difficult, the pain was getting worse, but the chairman distracted me with jokes all the way and gave me strength. When we were getting closer to the hospital, the pain was really bad.” he continued.
After an X-ray examination, the paramedics gave him medicine that dulled the pain, and then repaired the shoulder. “Relief. Huge. Now I have a break and treatment. But I want to thank from the bottom of my heart: Milan, for driving me, waiting and encouraging me without hesitation. To the guys on the slope for quick help and to the unknown girl for calling for help. To the wonderful staff at the Poprad hospital – you are great, as always,” the politician confessed on the social network. “In such moments, a person fully realizes what kind of people he has around him,” he concluded.
