Hatzlah RL - 2026 Dinner Feature Presentation

[music] >> It happened right here. >> [music] >> I was here at the wedding Dr. [music] Lightman's daughter got married right over here. When I got to the top of the staircase, I felt woozy and I felt like I'm about to pass out. And I just passed out. That was it. I had a wedding actually in this very hall and somebody started shouting that they need help for a patient if there's any medical providers nearby. So, I turned around and we see a patient [music] lying on the floor. I took one look at him and I saw that he was cyanotic. He was blue in the face and he was not breathing. We checked for a pulse. We were not able to find one, which for us means the heart has stopped and they are not alive at this point. And there's a very small window where you can try to reverse that process. Essentially, bring that person back to life. >> [music] >> We started CPR immediately. Myself and one other member. Daniel Wolfson called it in on his radio. They automatically initiated a call with an ambulance two paramedics. Dispatch final 21 you have a bus and medics heading. >> [music] >> Analyzing now. As we were doing CPR, [music] we started using a bag valve mask to deliver oxygen to the patient. We turned on a defibrillator and as we turned it on, we realized the patient had just started moving. Paramedics came, the ambulance got there with stretcher. I arrived on scene together with Shimmy Caner. [music] >> [music] >> We performed a in-depth 12 lead EKG which shows many different angles of the heart. >> [music] >> We started IVs, we gave medications. It was very clear to us that this was a very critical serious case [music] that needed rapid transport to a hospital that could handle such a situation. >> [music] >> We got the patient onto the ambulance, further stabilized him and secured him to be able [music] to transport him to the local emergency room for further treatment. We got the patient into the trauma resource area at South Nassau where the patient got a full workup and ultimately got definitive cardiac care done to correct this so this does not happen again. I've seen Hatzalah at work already for the last 40 years. You know, it's not like it's a new thing. But I never thought I would need it. I think it's important to realize that, you know, at any given time you may need them yourself. And therefore the more strength you give them, the more help you give them, you may be helping yourself out. Hatzalah's here for the community [music] 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They don't ask you who your shul [music] is, they don't ask you who your rav is, what your political affiliation is. There's one number that everybody knows to call, and that's Hatzalah. Anytime, any place, if there's a need of Hatzalah, we will always be there for you. >> [music]
