2scents -“Your a bit off, in New Square, males respond, the females get picked up either with the bus or a member picks them up, they get dispatched (or paged) only AFTER there is a full regular crew.
In fact, it isn’t really working in New Square, the members admit to it. Its all because the Rebbe decided to do it.”
You’re right -doesn’t sound like the perfect situation. But I mean they got it right -that they have the right idea.
It wouldn’t have been too hard to figure out a way. I read on one of the Frum blogs that Hatzola could have had them join. (I added in some of my ideas with this guys’.) They get dispatched along with regular members and the males assess without examination and if the birth is imminent -they deliver. If it’s not imminent -they wait for the females to come to assess & exam and they back off. They stand outside and they drive the bus and help load and unload. They don’t even have to be in the back of the bus -they can sit upfront. One of the members drives their car to the hospital so they don’t even have to be with males on the way back.
There definitely is a lack of Achdus amongst many people. When there is a will – there’s (a relative) a way!
