#2 – false – MDA and Hatzoloh are not the same and don’t let anyone tell you that. Haven’t you heard about the issues between Hatzoloh and MDA? http://tiny.cc/VOQxj It’s true that Hatzoloh members are first responders and work with MDA teams , are trained by MDA because they are the only one with permission to train (I wish that monopoly would end) – but thats where it ends. Hatzoloh and MDA are not linked financially. Hatzoloh provides equipment and many other things to their first responders

MAybe the docrtor saw that she was brain dead and to keep her alive would just be torture on the child and the family. It is not always the best interest to bring a patient back to life to live a life of pain and suffering for the family and patient. We, leider, have been there…..

To BZB,
Why do you believe the article? Also, you didn’t even read the article -he was the only Doc there, the rest are CFR’s, EMT’s & EMT-P’s. You should be dan this Doc l’caf zecus. Your comment that you would expect everything to be done to save your child -Firstly, who wouldn’t? Secondly,
who says they didn’t try everything? People are easily conned to believe something if it plays on their emotions. Use your intelligence, not your emotions to assess a situation. Remember, it’s the 9 days!

#7, no-one can say what the outcome of the investigation will find. Just the fact that there is an investigation really upsets me. It’s not like he was the only dr working on her, there were plenty of medical personals at the scene who agreed that he may have called it off too soon. I just know that being a mother myself, that g-d forbid that was my child I would expect everything, and I mean EVERYTHING to be tried in order to save my child.

Being a friend of the family, I am OUTRAGED at this report. What difference does this make? A little rachmanus on the family. I am sure they are already thinking what if….Why make it harder on them?? This is so disgusting and especially during the nine days. This report has NO toeles AT ALL!! I am embarassed to be a part of klal yisrael right now. In general this website is disgusting and shows how low we have sunk. Great job-let’s keep giving Hashem reasons to make more tragedies!

To #5,
You hit the nail on the head. Who told you “its clear etc.”? My point is -don’t believe everything you read. Maybe she got proper care. The other week YWN did this with an arrest at an old age home, but later in a small article they recanted. Motzay shem ra and loson horah apply to things you read also. Just be dan this doctor l’caf zecus!

#3 i think you need to re-read the article before you attack someone-else. firstly this isnt the forum to have a medical debate, a 3 year old girl died and its clear that maybe she may have survived given more/better care. Please save your opinion for another forum. try and focus on the family and what they must be going through. We should never know of such tradegy.

To #3,
Being that you are in the medical field like me, you should dan l’caf zecus. Why are you stating definetly that there was no Pals? Wait until the investigation is finished before you jump on the condeming wagon train. Obviously in any arrest it’s preferable to do Als before calling it. BTW, there is no law here (US) or anywhere (EY) that a doctor can’t call a code (even a ped code) in the field. He doesn’t have to wait to get to the ER!

#1 – as it says, the doctor decides. Hatzolah doesn’t have (many) doctors, by definition.

I might just join them myself, in the future, when I have my medical degree (which I am going to get).

Having one year of medical school and another year, before that, of nursing school behind me, I agree that BLS is not sufficient in this case. Resuscitation should have continued with ALS (PALS, to be correct) at least until getting to a hospital and letting the EP there decide.
