Italian doctor needs stitches after patient, 81, attacks with machete URBINA, Italy, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- An Italian doctor needed 40 stitches from her colleagues after authorities said an unhappy 81-year-old patient came at her with a machete. The elderly farmer was reportedly unhappy with the care he was getting from Dr. Daniela Vivani and made his displeasure known by charging through the clinic waiting room and striking Vivani in the head and hands. Police in Urbina said suspect Enrico Bostreghini told officers he was angry at the level of treatment he had been getting from Vivani. Police also told Italy's ANSA news agency that Bostreghini had a history of overreacting to situations. He had twice tried to burn down the town hall after being slapped with fines he didn't agree with.
