health – I am not sure what type of medical professional you are (podiatrist, dentist…) but it is obvious that you don’t know much about pre-hospital care it is very different than in a controlled environment. There are many times that it is appropriate to stabilize a patient before you move them. I am not sure about this case because like you, I wasn’t there but it is very plausible to think that the Hatzoloh providers on the scene felt they needed to stabilize the patient before moving her. Your arguments are all dripping with your disdain for an organization that is one of the biggest volunteer ambulance companies in the country. You have not written anything of substance you discredit any validity to your opinion by so blatantly spewing your vitriol. Because of its size Hatzoloh by definition will have some bad apples but it cannot be denied that many lives have been saved because of the dedication and selflessness of its volunteers. I am not here to bash EN but even if this story is not true it is not unrealistic to say this could happen. Any medical decision based on factors other than what is best medically is not Hishtadlus but foolishness. If a person skips over a Hatzoloh member because he is a man and calls someone less medically equipped, with less resources, with less experience, with less access to experienced providers, with no means of transport, just so they can get a woman, they are at best a fool and at worst being Oiver on Lo Samoid Al Dam Reiecha or depending on the outcome Retzicha. To create an organization that lends itself to that kind of Aveira is an Avlah. I hope the story is false but to call 911 is pure Rishus, when you have people that are as trained and more dedicated because they feel an Achrayus to their brother or sister within 2-3 minutes.
Just to reiterate if you are a doctor you can not compare pre-hospital care to definitive care and you really can not even have an educated opinion about what should have been done on the scene, especially one you were not on.
