A 56-year-old man, identified only as B., was rushed to the hospital for emergency cardiac catheterization after experiencing symptoms of a heart attack while accompanying his wife to a routine check-up at a Maccabi Healthcare Services clinic in Ma'alot. Nurse George Daoud noticed B. was sweating and experiencing chest pains. A quick ECG performed by Daoud indicated a possible acute cardiac event.
Following the ECG, Daoud immediately called for an intensive care unit team and alerted Dr. Jacqueline Monchek Komerska, a pediatrician present at the clinic. B. received oxygen and aspirin, and his condition was monitored until the emergency team arrived. He was then urgently transported to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya.
At the hospital, doctors discovered a blockage in an artery and performed a catheterization, inserting a stent to restore blood flow. B. was subsequently hospitalized for further treatment and observation.
Dr. Aviva Komerska emphasized the critical importance of prompt action in such situations, stating, "In a situation of suspected heart attack, every minute counts." She explained that without rapid treatment, the event could have led to dangerous heart rhythm disturbances or even death. Both Daoud and Dr. Komerska highlighted that attentiveness to subtle warning signs and swift medical intervention are crucial for saving lives and minimizing long-term damage.
