BuzzFeed News spoke to Dr Younis Dahmane, the man who treated 14 of the victims of the Tunisian hotel attack.
Meet Dr Younes Dahmane, a 54-year-old surgeon who treated and saved numerous victims of the attack in Tunisia last week.
"The morning before the attack took place, there weren't many cases to treat as it was Ramadan," he told BuzzFeed News. "Usually, we have less work in that month."
At least 38 people were killed in the attack. Dahmane’s hospital treated 14 patients, including Matthew James, the Welsh man who shielded his wife from bullets.
"We got 14 patients, six of them were seriously injured. Today, 13 are fine," Dahmane said. "Unfortunately, we lost one of them. He was 80 years old and has lost too much blood."
An 18-year-old woman he treated said she wanted to keep the blast fragments so she would always remember what happened.
Another woman who was treated in his hospital said she was so scared she asked to "rent" a policeman to protect her.
