EMERGENCY INSIDE A HATZALAH AMBULANCE (Part 2)

also I'm in the bus stop it blew up they had a terrorist attack on the bus you take over your phone so far what is all this we're like uber for life saving and for free so this weapon is actually to save lives everything we do is for free now we have an average of six emergencies every minute we build a bomb shelter underground same dispatch ready to go in a ballistic missile protection Center that's a Texas idea okay looking good yeah yeah you can put it you can put it up the equipment that goes inside the Ambi cycle since everything that ambulance has besides for a stretcher this is uh all the medical supplies that an ambulance has the um oxygen resistation equipment IV equipment trauma equipment Reviving someone everything is in the back of this energy so the volunteer who's driving this is ready to jump and save someone any moment of the day or night this is a defibrillator that goes in the back of the ambulance and the cycle and it actually helps to start someone's heart if you get that fast enough you have a higher chance of saving that person but the defibrillator so everything that you need to save someone's life is here I'll show you how it goes it's all protected it has here good solution installation you'll see everything fits in here you have also room for more personal stuff you can put in here and then this closes and if you're driving having another paramedic on the back so it's like this but if you're not if you have only one you want to make sure the heavy weight doesn't go above it has to go above the wheel for for safety reasons oh wow this is we we invented this everything is our invention here and other organizations slowly you're copying our model right so when I used to sit in the back of an ambulance when I was 16 years old I used to see the ambulance stuck in traffic people beeping where the siren is on but I used to see pizza delivery motorcycles how I think that's from the right and left and I always said if I have a choke I'm calling for a pizza these guys with the pizza are going to come with the motorcycles are going to save my life and when I when I was able to do it a little when I was 16 and a half years old after my the tragedy I still have a child seven years old die just waiting for help I decided United to tell is going to have motorcycle save lives and we call it the Ambi cycle which is this it's an ambulance cycle and it has everything you need it even has the life and sirens you have everything here can you turn them on that's loud very loud it has to be loud because with a small little bike we want to make sure people see us when you see that truck there you see that truck yeah he has to hear our noise so he can make sure to move and give us the right Pathway to just save someone okay so uh Selena you ready to go on a ride on an Ambi cycle absolutely he's getting a lot of crazy stuff Iraq Afghanistan New York City many dangerous places but never on an enemy cycle in Jerusalem this might be the most dangerous one yet [Music] okay hold on here now we have that is good hey we're ready to go okay so we are about to take off yes are you ready I think so I hope so all right wait a second I have to go yeah a little yeah see the roads the roads are very narrow in many cities in Israel so and you know very very narrow roads right uh so success crowded area to show me what it's like yeah we're gonna go into the most crowded area um in Jerusalem sorry okay so we're just stopped at a red light Ellie how much did these cost plus 36 000 fully loaded with everything and how many do you have in the organization over 1200 wow so it's just private people donating me yeah we have people donating we had Jay Leno really donate a couple of them just a while back and uh we have people who just want to name them they have their family's name on it and they get reports of how many lives he's like cool so if I want to give 36 000 I can have my name on a motorcycle and I'll get a report how often about how many calls it went on yeah go every every couple months you get a report of your nbcycle activities and how many likes to save and you actually get to meet the volunteer who's your partner cool it's a very tangible way of supporting organization when you know where your money is going through right some streets are so narrow even even us have a hard time getting in very very narrow wow this is the whole idea but if I I promise you one thing that I put on my license my siren they all have respect and will move to the side the bus will move to the right the car moves to the left and I just passed by and that's the idea and um it's very narrow to just really go through some situations like this you see the car in front of us it's blocking it but with with the siren he will start moving right away yeah this is a good example I can show you okay well done I want to show you someone someone interesting I have a volunteer who's one of our Lifesavers and he works in a fish shop he actually I'm gonna introduce you to him where he has a fish shop and he stops his work every time someone needs help sometimes he comes the boots and he goes to save someone and they smell the smell they wake up just from the fish smell and they run away but we're going on the sidewalk this is something you could do with an Ambi cycle not in a car yeah well that's his that's his thing parked right there hot girls because this is Gospel he's taking an order of fish he's a volunteer about Cella and he works here at a fish shop in Nash Irene and this is the family factor right there every time he goes he gets an emergency he goes with the roll and I I when they smell him they run away every time doesn't matter if the guy's dead the guy wakes up high school you're the best guy in the world we love you Narrow Street that's driving a sidewalk now because uh otherwise we can't get through um this is Facebook of Mayor sharim I'll show you how um they they put on posts this is uh but they want people to know about anything they don't have internet here they post the post this is the real in this is a real Facebook before Facebook uh was created well going back a few hundred years now I feel like you're attacking me I live this way I know I'm just kidding I know it this is a beautiful area by the way a lot of nice people live here [Music] we're gonna I'm gonna show you the University of the ultra Orthodox of the world the unit the top university the Harvard of um the Orthodox she will receive a world which is called the mirror that's the Yeshiva and the traffic that it creates traffic I remember here um around 15 years ago more than 15 sorry 20 years ago that was terrible attack in a bar mitzvah here and I was on an Ambi cycle and I arrived here we were able to save a couple of people putting a little baby the baby's married today so you it seems like you really keep up with all these like people who are saved and people you interacted with over the years I do try my best to keep that keeps me going to know that someone I think many years ago is alive today and have and building a family whoever saves One Life saves in my world it's uh the talmud and I know you see one one person and that will continue the world continue with other Generations so whenever I see someone I saved many years ago has babies now I say this is the goal so those babies are another volunteer myself hello we see each other we get excited yeah and this is the blue thing the Yeshiva here in this building we have a lot of Yeshiva students who actually volunteer from and they they could be in the middle of the studies or praying they would stop their prayers and jump at the same time look at this it's like uh it's like a pedestrian Mall here yeah by the way they even have not only black and white Facebook colored Facebook here hey hi see everyone knows you nah they know you they don't know and no one's talking to me they don't recognize you with the player skin it's a lot of a lot of satisfaction going and meeting people I save all the time that keeps me going I was invited just a couple of months ago to him to a wedding of a child that I saved when he was a kid in my neighborhood and when he was choking and I arrived there I was able to save him it was more of a night and I never followed up with the family but one day I got a wedding invitation and figure out who that is and then I got a phone call they said did you get out wedding with me today I said what it was but I said they said you saved his life and it was just incredible to get an invitation to some someone I saved his life so many years that I forgot about everything is very close Jerusalem is connected it's one city of diversity of religious people secular people um Christians and Muslims and Jews all living one each other around each other so we have to learn how to get together United at Cella is actually a great sample of how people get along so finish with the motorcycle and now I'm on an ambulance with a couple volunteers can you introduce yourself so you're from the ladies division how many years have you been doing this this one year one year wow okay and who is who else is here Rachel and I'm here I'm here and you are Arab right yeah and you're working with the Jewish organization which is beautiful so it's just the most important thing is Saving Lives can you say that again the most important thing is Saving Lives I think it's so beautiful that people from all different backgrounds can come together to do good things and this is really an example of how the whole world should be running we have to look past our differences and focus on what we can do to make the world a better place [Music] what happened [Music] blocks right behind us [Music] what's up [Music] what's your name about eight years ago I painted down the street on uh and he came I remember um somebody was eating shawarma in a shop right here and the person choked that's all volunteer was down the block walked over or probably ran over and started doing CPR and I was standing there watching as they brought this person back to life it was unbelievable I was like for you guys you see this every day I was just standing there and I was saying to heal him I was praying but um thank God the person is breathing now and on the way to the hospital yeah how many years have you been doing this five years yes and Rachel I'm also five years so now you just you park what happens now you park somewhere and wait or you drive around town just drive around town we can drive around town we can just have a wait somewhere the next call to come in but how often do they come in it really depends every day is very different every day is very different one day you can have a time when downstairs is still like your mats mode then there's well Independence Day we had 10 calls within with a minute within a minute and then you can be stopped by people inside the road there were days where you can sit around for an hour or two hours there'll be no calls coming it just depends on how busy things are obviously I'm assuming during the night it's quieter also very very dependent it can be completely you can have a night where you've got to sleep all night and you found a night where you don't you don't see the end of the ambulance so just what you go from hospital to call to call to hospital okay so another call just came in and we're running over there um and I'm just to make a split into the sea all right so just to wait till they moved so now we just wait for a green light because I have not enough room today if I can sometimes I cause an effective for splitting to see traffic at the moment there's just no way of doing that I used to drive because of the driving condition because of the red light foreign [Music] foreign [Music] we just had a very interesting call a woman was feeling like she couldn't breathe the volunteers came with the ambulance they checked her out her blood pressure was fine everything seems to be fine but they asked her if she's had any stress in her life and it turns out that her husband recently passed away and um sometimes stress can cause People's Health backed up and make them feel like they can't breathe or like they're going to collapse so we just transported this woman to the hospital where she's going to be checked out and make sure that everything's okay but that was just a very interesting call looks like she's gonna be fine you're getting the stretcher ready for the next patient yeah each time we come to the hospital once we clean the beds up and change everything around so we're ready for Mexico the sheets will be changed and then we're ready for the next fall just when they finish dropping off that person at the hospital another call came in and we are heading there right now so this is the hotel volunteer who is doing the CPR earlier today and he literally saved somebody's life and he said it says it's the fourth time that he did CPR on somebody in the last eight days literally saving lives every single day and uh it's just a beautiful beautiful thing thank you for your service thank you thank you can you show me around the uh okay so here we have the first day uh back okay so she takes with us on every call alongside that we're taking oxygen which has oximac for both children and adults and also the defibrillator which is for a personal post kinds of resuscitation but also one Accord you never know who you're who you're going to meet on the call so we always go down with these three things the most important things in the ambulance okay so we have a fridge to transport blood if needed okay collapse for safety measures you're a printer to print out documents a lamp for any major trauma instance you have the drawers that contain uh masks water sometimes people need water you have here the sheets to cover the bed with so keep your hygiene it up here we have bags for dash multiple deck your body bags exactly and here we have all the utensils you need access to on an ambulance shift so you have needles for sugar you have the sugar blood sticks you have glucose which is used diabetes bandages to give the liquids antiseptic over here we have a big thing for the corona is the protective yeah oh here you have all the bandage needs anything that needs a dressing or dressings needs for dressing over here you have a big oxygen tan which is kept safe in there which we transferred to anything to clean the ambulance an alcohol gel this is what we call their Lanka it's an army bed to transport in the fields where you need to transport quickly the chair which we're going down steps we need to bring the patients down uh straps here and here I used to strap the place into a backboard okay here we have anything for Burns and um tags who in a mass casualty okay to tag the people at what state they're in so that's a nice casualty yeah we have oxygen masks Belgium masks yeah there are obviously that's the children which obviously smaller here we have capitals and Airway systems students are not breathing A9 if I want to open a vein to give liquid to somebody be hydrated pregnant person we have Fair oxygen tanks on either side fire extinguishing occasions these helmets and bulletproof jackets in case of a terrorist attack or any sort of heavy accidents and Commercial accidents that have taken place have you ever have you ever worn one of these yeah thank God uh we have next races uh people that are involved in the car accident [Music] to be able to collect your mind some of these and then the bottom there's all the things for the one of the ambulance got it like maintenance yeah okay I have a camera here with also my patient while I'm driving I can see what my my what my uh we were doing for patient and directly needed lights documents so thank you very very much for all your help today for showing me around and for taking me along on this journey I've learned so much and I hope to just share it with the world and people should see what you're doing and the side of the factors you make and how you were all making the world a much better and safer place hope that people could choose and know that we offer service which is sort of smile and fear of charge it's very important thank you having spent the day with your volunteers I've seen amazing things it completely changed my perspective on the whole organization and I've known a lot about the organization till now but now it's like I have a much bigger respect for you and for everything you do any idea how many lives you guys have saved over the years we treated over 5 million people wow and uh not everyone is saved of course not everyone needed to be saved some people were fine but I would say we we save now over 150 people a day that we save and that is a lot of people think about one person that you save today you went to call a person was saved right so when and when you're saying saving you're not just talking about somebody getting stitches this is like literally 150 people are are getting resuscitated every day resuscitated people with cardiac events that we make a difference car accidents uh shootings and in many other events drownings yeah and these are the events that make a difference as seconds can make a difference between life and death so after seeing um people die when they didn't have to especially that child you decided to start hatsala and you're running to calls with your friends and and really quickly I mean this is unbelievable we were 15 volunteers within a few weeks we had already 100 volunteers and other organizations started other parts of Israel in other cities and in other communities started adopting it and mostly the Orthodox religious Jews in Israel were adopting this model and the war broke out in 2006 which was uh Lebanon war Lebanon more the second Lebanon war it was a really bad war and I was up north helping volunteers who are up in safat in other cities and I realized that there isn't enough volunteers and there isn't coordination between the different organizations and I went ahead and I created um I actually turned out to everyone I said let's meet together in a bomb shelter and talk about uniting all the organizations into one instead of having a local one in Jerusalem a local one in Tel Aviv a local one in Haifa have one centralized organization so everyone could be coordinated and work together so you had all these different organizations that were working differently did they have different emergency numbers like when you called who did what was the number to call was it one universal number or so each one was working differently and they had everyone had a different logo everyone had different bylaws everyone had different training everyone had different fundraising I said you know what when a missile comes from Lebanon it doesn't make a difference between one person another person I want to make one Organization for every single person in Israel Arabs and Jews and Christians and religious Jews and secular Jews and men and women this was 2006 when a lot of organizations were just local organizations with one type of volunteers only men only some of them were only married and um Orthodox and I actually said you know what it doesn't make sense we need to save lives and I turned to everyone it was not an easy it was very hard to bring people together is very hard people think it's easy to bring Jews together Jews together is you traveled to Iraq you know what it is to bring iraqians together I would say Israel is very similar in terms of everyone's their own type everyone has their own synagogue and we had to unite everyone it was the hardest thing in the world and it was incredibly successful and that's what brought to United hatsella uniting people together for a mission of saving lives and I think that was the biggest step of my life to take hatsala to bring it into United hatsala to change it from Just which is important we were hot Salah we made it into United Hudson you saw in the onai is how you have different types of people believing in this Mission and fighting for other people's lives when we go to save someone we don't know who we're going to save it might be our brother it might be someone from our synagogue but it might be someone from a church or or a mosque and that's the beauty of it today we're fighting for everyone's life wow you invented the abuse cycle you reinvented the entire way of thinking about saving lives it's not about finding out you know what kind of qualities it's about getting someone out to the emergency as soon as possible and then you know do first ask questions later and you're constantly opening up new branches around the country and even around the world so do you want to share this knowledge further with people who are not Jewish people in other countries people in other continents what do you like what are you doing to share this amazing accomplishment that you've done to be able to enhance the lives of people elsewhere well there's no doubt that the credit of hatzella started in Brooklyn by incredible people one of them is a close friend Herschel Weber who had a sore tragedy that happened in Williamsburg and created hotel and it's incredible organization everywhere all the Jewish communities that have it are benefiting the greatest service but I think we have to bring into everywhere in the world I think everyone should copy this model that's how it should be everywhere no matter where they are every country in the world should learn about how simple it is to save people's lives you could fight for having the best hospital in the country but if you don't have a fast response it's worthless you can have the best doctors but if someone is not getting oxygen in the first two minutes of him not breathing they're gone you can't bring you can't reverse damage brain damage and that's what my idea of speaking to you in your Channel with so many people following I want United hatsala to be in your country in your cities I want this model to be open source to the world so are you willing to give over the knowledge and English people and help them out with whatever they need to make that happen definitely and we'll share all the information there is this is not um we don't this is not a business this is a life-saving organization that changed the way Israel's Israelis getting help and I think this could be learned in every university around the world of Entrepreneurship in terms of social entrepreneurship and a life-saving um change and you can have really a couple of volunteers change the community with United attella and I am willing to help establish this everywhere amazing thank you so earlier today on the first call I went on with the ambulance there was an old man who had choked on a shawarma and he was literally out and they did CPR for a long time and eventually brought him back and we are going to end off the day right now by having some shawarma hopefully we're gonna stay safe well I always say shirava can kill you um and I always meant in terms of the fat and cholesterol but uh it could literally kill you if you don't eat it properly and but if you're eating shawarama you you'd rather eat the drama where you have a televolunteers United Hotel volunteers around right because this person is back to be alive he did they did CPR on him and he's alive now and that's the beauty about it so we're gonna have Shawarma now and I'm gonna diet I have to lose 50 pounds I have a challenge by when Mark markers and our chairman said if I lose 50 pounds he will donate twenty thousand dollars for every pound I lose I have to lose it till the end of September so I'm gonna have only a little Shawarma no bread and some salad you could have a real swamp yeah I'm not doing any weight loss things yet but I've I'm thinking about it but I feel very secure knowing that God forbid if something happens you're right there yeah so I'm here to make sure your Shawarma is going through well and uh you keep an eye on me I shouldn't gain any weight because I don't want to lose a million dollar donation okay I'm not going to let you have any carbs thank you Ellie thank you it's great to spend the day with you likewise and uh really just thank you for everything you've done I've been I got dehydrated a couple years ago in the summer collapsed and that's all I was there I actually met the volunteer who who helped me did I get the call and a couple of weeks ago my son hit the wall and was knocked out and that's all it was there so just I've benefited from the organization personally and everyone I know has benefited from the organization and keep doing your amazing holy and important work and our website is easy israelrescue.org check it out donate this is a very very important organization there's nothing more important than saving life israelrescue.org [Music]
