When he saw that man lying on the ground, he thought of the life-saving maneuver seen the night before in the television series 'Doc', and intervened
.
"It was my birthday, but I was at home grounded, because I hadn't behaved very well with my parents - says the 14-year-old student in an interview with La Stampa -. Thank goodness, I feel like saying now".
The prognosis for the man remains reserved "but, without my intervention, the doctors told me he would have died" adds the boy who retraces the stages of the story, which
happened on Sunday in the Veronese area.
The man's wife was terrified, the boy says: "She was on the phone with an 118 operator, so I took the cell phone from her hands and communicated our exact position. At that point, the doctor asked me if I I felt like doing a cardiac massage, and I said yes."
And he, interviewed by Corriere della Sera, explains that he did the cardiac massage "for 15 minutes. I never stopped until the ambulance arrived and then also the air ambulance that took him to hospital".
