Around 5.30 pm two women approached and talked about a girl who seemed burned and who had heard several times. Alvise and I immediately went to seewe didn’t think about it for a moment, “said Serena al Corriere della Sera.
how was the newborn

When the three friends arrived The girl was in the shade and with her there were parents: “He will have had 15/16 days and had anBurgling, face and thorax extended. His eyes were not seen because he had a Edema eyelid serious. He had no bubbles, so the burning could be of first instance, but from what I saw if he had spent another night in those conditions it could have died“The boy explained. Then he added about the parents:” I don’t know if they understood that I wanted to help them. There was an important linguistic barrier because they were from Eastern Europe, perhaps Ukrainians, and they didn’t speak English. I tried to make me understand how I could, to make it clear that the situation was serious, but I believe that at a certain point they frightened, especially the mother, so much so that the girl tilted and left away from the beach “.
the intervention of the rescuers
–
The doctor said he called the police and the rescuers of Suem. “Alvise remained together with the father of the little girl. Dennis, the only one who had not been seen by the mother, chased her barefoot to the campsite (He walked for almost a kilometer and was also the day of his birthday) “. The woman had gone to her tent and then agents and rescuers then arrived, who” did an exceptional job. They made the woman come out of the tent and have medicated the girland then transport it first to the San Donà hospital and then to that of Padua “.
Pierpaolo Serena He said: “I only did my duty as a doctor. I made a oath, that is to take care of people and protect the defenseless. The situation was not easyI had to think within 30 seconds, to call and coordinate the rescue and the police who, perhaps, were the only hope of making the girl’s mother think “.
A rescue resulting from collaboration
–
Surely none of the three friends and teammates will forget this day at the beach. “I will remember the conditions of the girl forever, Seeing such a thing is not every day. However, I will also carry in something else in: it is often said that indifference is rampant in our society, but I can assure that In that beach everyone collaborated And done what they could to save a life “.
For what he did he should receive a prize: the President of the homar Villorba Rugby, Mirko Piccolo. But he reiterated: “I only did my duty, both professional and as a citizen. I think that sometimes someone who does not turn to the other side is more news. For my part it would have been an omission of rescue, I could never have been able to”.
