A 56-year-old man is in critical condition after falling from a significant height at a construction site in Jerusalem on Friday morning. Firefighters and Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency medical teams responded to the scene. Paramedics, accompanied by Dr. Alon Schwartz, Director of the Trauma Unit at Shaare Zedek Medical Center, provided initial treatment, including resuscitation efforts and the administration of blood components, due to the severity of the man's multi-system trauma.
The complex rescue operation involved firefighters extracting the man from the site. Paramedic Tzur Cohen described the scene, stating that upon arrival, they observed the man lying on the ground with severe injuries. Recognizing the critical nature of his condition, a decision was made to request a senior doctor and blood supplies to the scene to aid in treatment during the extraction.
Following the rescue, the man was placed in a mobile intensive care unit and transported to Shaare Zedek Medical Center, still accompanied by Dr. Schwartz. He arrived at the hospital in critical condition, with resuscitation efforts ongoing and blood component transfusions continuing.
