Here is a story about St. Joseph Moscati.

Joseph Moscati graduated from medical school in 1903. After his graduation he worked at a hospital for persons with incurable diseases. In 1908, while he was still working there, Mt Vesuvius erupted causing chaos and confusion. After assisting at the hospital Moscati quickly went to a nursing home located on the outskirts of town. There he stayed and assisted with the evacuation, taking out the last patient only minutes before the whole building collapsed. He sought no recognition for his brave deeds but instead petitioned the Board of Health to recognize those who assisted him.
