Haredi Man in His 70s Collapses and Regains Consciousness After Emergency in Central Jerusalem
A dramatic medical emergency unfolded on Monday at a bus stop on Nathan Strauss Street in central Jerusalem when a Haredi man in his 70s suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness. United Hatzalah emergency teams quickly arrived at the scene after bystanders called for help. Volunteer medic Dr. Daniel Shkargi and first responder Yehiel Stern performed life-saving CPR and administered an electric shock using a defibrillator.
Their prompt actions successfully restored the man’s full consciousness. He was then transported to Shaare Zedek Medical Center for further evaluation and is currently in stable condition. This incident is part of a recent series of medical emergencies within the Haredi community, including the recent tragic death of a three-month-old infant in Safed despite prolonged resuscitation efforts.
United Hatzalah emphasized the importance of immediate response in such cases, highlighting the critical role of bystanders and trained volunteers in saving lives during sudden medical crises.
