“Help me find the two angels who saved my life”.
This is the appeal addressed to L'Unione Sarda.it by Fabrizio M., 57, agricultural entrepreneur from San Nicolò d'Arcidano , who on Monday 3 October risked dying - due to an anaphylactic shock - on board a flight Ryanair departed from Milan and headed for Cagliari .
It is he himself - overcoming his fear and returning to strength - who recounts the dramatic moments he experienced with his family at an altitude of thousands of meters.
"We embarked to return to the island after attending my niece's wedding in Milan. I had taken a new drug and after take off I went into anaphylactic shock . My tongue turned, I stopped breathing and went in cardiac arrest ”, says Fabrizio.
It is not difficult to imagine the terror among the passengers in the face of sudden illness, in particular that of the wife and son of the victim .
But just when everything seemed lost, two "angels" get up from their seats: a retired doctor and a nurse , who practiced life-saving maneuvers and heart massage on Fabrizio, making him breathe again, while the Ryanair staff were busy with reassuring other travelers and providing the necessary support.
Then, after landing in Elmas, the 118 rescuers also intervened, who transferred Fabrizio to the Santissima Trinità hospital. Except. I live.
Now, after the checks, exams and resignations, Fabrizio has returned home. And he feels the need to track down who rescued him and, probably, stolen the worst.
“I don't know who these two people are and for the sake of privacy their name cannot be communicated to me by the airport authorities. But I know they saved my life and I feel the need to talk to them to thank them, in my name and in my family . For this I hope that by reading my story they decide to try to get in touch with me. I will always be grateful to them ”.
