The ambulance was called via the emergency line in the afternoon. “A sixty-six-year-old man whose wasps attacked in the garden first showed signs of shock and then fainted. Upon arrival at the scene, the intervening doctor found out that all basic life functions had failed, “said ambulance spokesman Lukáš Humpl.
