What rules of shomer negia? You admit yourself that a male hatzolah member treated your elderly mother (as he should and is allowed to). Do you think 911 EMT’s/paramedics are going to inappropriately touch women? You can argue that with 911 since you have a pretty good chance of getting a female EMT/paramedic maybe in this regard 911 should be your preferred option.

“who knows how long 911 would have taken”
The County knows. They keep track of this info.

“OH and do the medics of 911 speak Yiddish???”
On the rare occasion that a patient only speaks yiddish and no has one else to translate maybe the Hatzlah EMT who speaks yiddish (apparently now all of them do) can translate.

“911 would never have treated her the same.”
When happened when your mother needed to go to the hospital? Did the 911 responders treat her poorly and disrespectfully?

Hatzalah was initially founded in response to the city’s/911 atrocious response times. Many other volunteer ambulance services were founded in non jewish neighborhoods for the exact same reason.
