A Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedic joined a TikTok live stream to help locate and provide medical assistance to a man experiencing a seizure. The incident occurred when a viewer watching the live broadcast noticed the participant having convulsions and called MDA's emergency number, 101. The caller, however, did not know the location of the man in distress.

Yair Weinman, a paramedic at MDA's emergency call center, decided to join the video call himself using his mobile phone. During the stream, he overheard another participant mention the name of the town where the man likely lived. Weinman then relayed this information to MDA dispatchers, who were simultaneously launching an ambulance to the town.

While MDA teams searched the town, the national MDA center used technological systems to cross-reference information and pinpoint the man's residence. Weinman observed via the video call as the MDA teams entered the man's home and began administering medical treatment. The paramedic described the situation as an unusual event during his morning shift, highlighting the challenge of not knowing the patient's location initially.
