Volunteer medic saves six-month-old baby from anaphylactic shock in Jerusalem

A six-month-old infant was saved from anaphylactic shock in Jerusalem’s Romema neighborhood after developing a severe allergic reaction to milk. The emergency unfolded when the baby’s condition worsened rapidly following the reaction.
