Medic says victim ‘fully conscious’ after attack

MDA paramedic Wally Wolfstahl says the stabbing victim was conscious when he arrived.

“When I arrived to the scene, I saw an approximately 40-year-old woman sitting in her vehicle. She was fully conscious and suffering from a stab wound to the upper body. People on the scene told me they put her in the vehicle after she was stabbed by a terrorist. We gave her medical care with the help of IDF medics that arrived on the scene. After giving her first aid in the field, we sent her to the hospital. She is in moderate and stable condition,” he says.
