Moments of fear last night while Sant'Efisio was in Giorgino, ready to return to Stampace. Among the many faithful in the procession, a seventy-year-old felt ill.
The immediate intervention of the operators of the "I Sardi Soccorso" association was providential and gave him an electrocardiogram, immediately realizing that there was a heart attack in progress. The man was taken by ambulance to the Polyclinic, where - in agreement with the operations center - he was admitted directly to the haemodynamics department, without going through the emergency room.
The elderly man was saved. Over 100 operators worked on site for the Martyr's Day, including ambulance and foot rescuers. There were no other problems, but in the face of the emergency the system did not disappoint expectations.
