Agitated Diana tore out drip, medic claims

PRINCESS DIANA was so agitated as doctors treated her in the wreck of her car that she tore out a drip they tried to insert, her inquest heard yesterday.

Medics had to restrain and sedate the princess, who was shouting and thrashing her arm around, before they could get her out of the mangled vehicle.

Dr Jean-Marc Martino, an emergency specialist, recalled Diana “shouting and saying things in English which were comprehensible, yet incoherent”, the court was told.
