A few minutes later, Qadhafi, who wrapped a long white tunic, entered the room. "He welcomed and greeted me, speaking in perfect English," said Ribeiro. He was very polite, intelligent, friendly, and soft spoken. He told what he wanted and why. "
Qadhafi requested the operation be done immediately, but Ribeiro require a full team so that the procedure was only carried out in January 1995. The operation began at 2:00 in the bunker Qadhafi. "The sanctuary has two operating rooms are very modern and fully equipped, well equipped with gym and swimming pool," said Ribeiro. "He insisted that only local anesthesia because it wants to stay awake," said the doctor. "He is very calm, patient."
