Pregnant paramedics forced off road following violent patient assaults in Victoria

Pregnant paramedics in Victoria are being forced off the road after violent assaults. Elena Ciavarella was punched in the face and stomach by a patient when 12 weeks pregnant, while colleague Madeleine Caoduro was kicked and spat on at eight weeks. Over 1,000 paramedics are assaulted annually in Victoria, prompting the state government to review laws protecting emergency workers.
