If Tijana Gerovasilis from Užice had not accidentally stopped at her house on Tuesday afternoon and in the following minutes, despite the noise coming from outside, she did not hear the cry of a woman from an apartment on the same floor, the question is if your neighbor would survive the mushroom poisoning.
Thanks to Tijana, a Serbian teacher who works as a taxi driver, and her neighbor Marina Stanić, the 69-year-old MV was transported to the hospital in Užice at the last minute and was saved.
– On Tuesday around three o’clock in the afternoon, as rarely before, I took a short break from work and went home. Upon arrival, Marina, my friend from school who lives in the same building, called me and wanted to come talk to me. When I saw her come out of my apartment on the gallery of the building and as we went out into the hall together, I heard someone cry. At first it seemed to me that it was the voice of a child, a story for “Blic” by Tijana Gerovasilis.
It all took place in one of the multi-storey buildings on Nikola Pašića street in Užice, opposite two secondary schools and a primary school.
– The voice that came from somewhere was not articulate, human, it was more like a scream, a sketch. We went door to door to determine where it came from. It turned out that he was coming from the apartment across from mine, where MV lives alone. I remembered that I had met her the day before and that she had told me that she had been to Jelova Gora Mountain and had picked mushrooms. By the way, she often picks mushrooms and I know her as someone who eats healthy – says Tijana.
He grabbed the lock, but the door was closed. Tijana and Marina started yelling at the woman: “Come to the door and open it.” MV did not respond, screams and bangs were heard from her apartment. It so happened that at that time, there was a big break in the schools in front of the building where the drama took place. Although the woman’s screams were loud, they were barely audible due to the screams of the children coming from outside. The question is how long MV cried but his scream was not heard due to the noise.
– We were so shocked and panicked that we couldn’t remember the phone numbers for the fire department or the ambulance. We went from apartment to apartment, both in the gallery and on the floors above and below, to find someone to help us. It turned out that there was no one in the apartments, the tenants had not yet returned from work. A death cry was still coming from MV’s apartment, she says.
She and Marina found a neighbor who knew the number of firefighters. A few minutes later they arrived and broke down the door.
– We entered the apartment and found her curled up on the floor. The water was dripping from her head, everything in the house was destroyed, she didn’t say anything, she couldn’t even say her name. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. It was as if a force was throwing her across the apartment. Then the ambulance arrived. Her brother, who lives in the same building by chance, also arrived. The doctors told him to cooperate, to try to tell them what happened, but it wasn’t worth it. She spoke for the first time while they took her out on a stretcher, she told her brother completely confused, stunned, that she was dying and say hello to those closest to her – says the interlocutor of “Blic”.
According to the information she received, MV was treated in the intensive care unit of the Uzice General Hospital for poisoning, where her condition improved until last night, for which she was transferred to the infectious ward.
Tijana spoke with her brother MV for the next few hours, and he told her that he often told his sister not to go to the mushrooms so as not to choose the wrong one, and that she ate the mushrooms that she collected from Jelova Gora that day. The taxi driver also contacted a woman from Užice, who knows mushrooms very well.
– I told him where my neighbor went to pick mushrooms, how she screamed and how she looked when we entered the apartment. By all the symptoms, she assumes MV ate the crazy mushroom that misled her with her appearance. Crazy in the sun, she told me, it changes color, loses its moles and instead of red it turns dark orange and looks like its double edible – says the Serbian professor, temporarily at the wheel of a taxi.
