ER24 Media Blog: Health care worker brutally attacked at home.

Thursday, April 29, 2010

Health care worker brutally attacked at home.

A student nurse has been brutally attacked at her home in Oribi Village. It is believed that the 28 year old woman was assaulted by her husband who shot her repeatedly before allegedly fleeing the scene.

ER24 Advanced Life Support paramedics where on the scene within minutes and found the patient in a critical condition lying in a pool of blood on the varanda of her home. The patient appeared to have received three bullet wounds to the head. A forth bullet appeared to have amputated the thumb of her right hand.
Paramedics intubated the patient and took over her breathing by placing her on a ventilator as they tried to stem the bleeding and stabilize her for transport to Pietermaritzburg Medi-Clinic.

It is unclear what motivated the attack but SAPS is investigating the shooting. The patient remains in a critical condition in hospital.
