rebdoniel -“I’ve never read any teshuva advocating for the exclusive use of male Ob/Gyns. We’re not Muslim fanatics. We believe “Ve Chai Bahem.””
Excuse me – you obviously didn’t read my posts. I differentiated between Doctors and EMT’s. A Doc you need to have a good relationship with – this can affect the mother’s and baby’s health. So it would be Sakana Nefoshos to use s/o that the pt. isn’t comfortable with. So they can use Male providers. While if a male EMT happens to be on an OB call -yes they are allowed to render care, but if there can be a female instead -why isn’t it preferable to use a female?
“All EMT’s are more than capable of delivering babies. It’s an important part of their training.”
And it seems that the EMT’s of EN have more training in Ob than regular EMT’s.
