Naples – Yet another attack on the personnel of a 118 ambulance: the episode occurred yesterday morning in Salita Miradois, in the San Carlo all'Arena neighborhood.
The 118 of the “Annunziata” station had been alerted for an epileptic seizure in a middle-aged woman, as reported by the association Nessuno Tocchi Ippocrate. But upon arrival on site, the medical staff found the woman alert and conscious, the nurse simply asked the reason for the call and at that point all hell broke loose.
The woman's husband took a hunting knife and threatened the nurse while other women in the family slapped him. At a certain point one of them grabbed an iron bar and headed towards the health worker, the timely intervention of the driver avoided the worst.
Naturally, the police have been alerted and those responsible will be tried tomorrow morning with a summary trial.

It's incredible how these things happen, the 118 staff does a very important job and instead of being helped they are attacked. We need to find a solution to protect health workers from similar situations that should never happen.
