2scents,
What Tznius issues? there is very little for EMS personal to do in the prehospital setting for gynecological emergencies other than …
My understanding is that the “bread and butter” situations that Ezras Nashim intends to handle are unplanned out-of-hospital births. The majority of these situations are not actual medical emergencies, and, if the birth occurs at home or en route to the hospital/birth center, there would certainly be quite a bit for the attendant “to do”. For rarer situations such as placenta previa, where an emergency C-section is required to save the mother and baby, you would be correct.
One would think that having a service that mainly responds to women related emergencies, with hard to miss stickering on their cars and vans parked in front of someones house, is a much greater Tznius issue.
This is a good point that I had not considered before. Any emergency vehicle pulling up in front of your house is going to cause a ruckus, however, and I’m guessing for those who use Ezras Nashim, the guarantee of being attended by a woman outweighs the embarrassment of the neighbors being able to discern more detail about what is going on.
