Health,
dont get so worked up. I was referring to a fact, not an i deal.
up until recently Birth, has been considered a pure BLS call. however now it is an ALS call.
the reason for that is because most people that call 911 for a birth are people with minimum prenatal care.
however in the Orthodox community people call Hatzala NOT because they are not informed or did not go to a doctor. only because they waited till the last minute.
is it the right thing to do? no! but thats what they do.
