A 41-year-old woman was arrested late on Saturday for assaulting a female doctor in the emergency room of Naples CTO hospital, sources said on Sunday.
    It is the latest of a long series of attacks on medical personnel, especially those working in casualty units, in Italy.
    The woman allegedly attacked the doctor as she was angered by the length of time her uncle was having to wait to be examined.
    She has been put under house arrest and three of her relatives have been reported to prosecutors over the disturbance at the hospital.
    The doctor suffered injuries that should heal within five days.
