Besides for the regular calls to respond challenges, the masks, the hazmat suits, the testing found we have to go into isolation. We're trying to avoid the corner. Everyone's trying to avoid. So we're trying to avoid to get stuck with >> So one second hospital for whatever reason and we got a call tested positive in hospital yet's responsibility. The hospital's responsibility is inside outside with a mask with a vest. So according to investigation investigation serious indication of what the co was. Mhm. So with masks so The purpose of the mask in the west towards the end of the first wave. Okay. of the porch ambulance shift join the testing options of mention obviously people wanted to have flights specific schools. So we did the swabing swabing and the blood test. So this a fun experience 12 hour shift a local doctor. Well maybe the police will stop them. Maybe someone else is going to catch it. Maybe so the feeling and show up to someone's house on the make a difference somewhere and that's it. It made my co exciting. Mhm. Okay. for the headlines but otherwise I think were more or less in the past itself um sadly sadly sadly is a trigger for me and the trigger is not personal so I don't want to personal opportunity and when it died down we went back to the new normal. It's the new normal for me traffic officially do it. Five lanes, four lanes, guys. seconds. Mhm. Experienced the Israeli driver and how did you get into empty streets driving in Israel? Mhm. suddenly do traffic also back to normal but slowly gradually driver and the most convenient way. So co to be a to become an Israeli driver for the episode. can take care of it with one phone call. Alice, flights, hotels, car rentals, drivers, visas, concier services takes care of it all. Phone number 7182151566. 718 215156 beautiful locations butterpacksburg orderin they ship all over in delivery in the tri-state area same day call 718436707 that's 7184 4360707 mafoyjude.com we'll put a link in the description to advertise enough podcast call or WhatsApp 7183953465 >> okay um is a big impact for >> yeah in general's a happy place and still is a happy Guys, is a difficult place to approach and to return to no one pushed me. the planning of the logistics, the planning of flying a certain amount of people according to the to the law in So by area spread out obviously in addition the throne. So they they're going to be on the women's section which are amazing. >> Mhm. So it's going to be split and divided according to the to the average expected obviously the planning point obviously the the higherups obviously above it the offices of logistics offices of which is the missions more or less mission departments. departments which come together and um for the next year last end of last year in the logistics equipment. So starting where did we fail the food the members of enjoyed the members of squashed in how did we treat the members debrief okay and that's how they planned the onwards but obviously they became way more sophisticated the tragedy So, so back it up a little bit. Well, you're going to have to involve the police. You need crowd control. I don't know. some sort of issue from the government or something. Exactly. But mention versus other companies other companies was politics other companies and maybe less in compared to >> okay >> they may be less sensitive to the subject of events. Now itself an amazing organization obviously conflicts and interests mention not the number of >> Mhm. which is obviously where was success successful in the local but um for the sake of peace the politics all I just say is to look after yourself call the right number at the right time >> okay and the right number of is 121 >> 1221 yeah okay so the youth in the tragedy base now. The archers pictures. No, the link is out is the is the mana. Everyone >> exactly. So behind if you're facing behind you on the left hand side toilets. This is the the base logistic equipment and do separate toilets and do a mobile command that was in the back basic mobile command. I understand making sure the internet's connected to everyone that we able to register according to the member. No, every equipment every every radio has to be allocated. So it's important Now in charge driver's license to passport or whatever it's going to take it as >> sadly multi-million dollar organization with multi-million dollar equipment without going into details under mentioned. So yes sidly is perfect. So we do have negative experience and positive experience. So it's a very straightforward. Thank you. Exactly. Okay. Now radio member number put it members >> is the individual it's individual assigned number >> for every member my number is 8850 Okay, in Hebrew. So, for example, if it was me, I would say and I would mark it on the map from this hour to that hour he's going to be there. It was it was moving. Was he done the tent >> was registering the mansion was >> okay in allocating the places under the mansion obviously now exactly 10:29 the music he was blurring anything in the tent He's a respected member radio. So now the translation of is MCI but MCI means a mass casualty incident. certain amount of dead people is usually going to be considered a mass casualty incident and obviously casualties allocate mermention and try and triage the situation. Yeah. >> So this is it very close now. from the back. Yeah. back. So devices grab the radio. radio looks cool. So obviously radio. So classic radios. This is regular which works on a SIM card. It works on an advanced GPS chip as well. This phone it's based on Android. So Zia phone works like a phone. It's um it's run like a phone obviously. This is a system that it's built phone individual GPS. They can find the GPS chip which has the ability to narrow you down in the down to the meter dispatch. >> Get them any number. for examp whatever suddenly signal well it's jamming it coming jamming Yeah, >> too many signals I am plat is a clash. So individually they also give us >> regular radio in the belt with antenna mala radios which is obviously encrypted channels. Soion it makes sense every five people should have it individually get the dispatches of the regular radio difference of their radio interesting in their radio when the dispatch puts in your address it comes out on a robot's But it's a robot going to say it very clearly. It's fine. No one can miss it. Obviously annoying voice. Okay. >> Annoying voice literally. >> This is the call from definitely Israeli. Okay. >> Um, so behind me was any reason for me to need to listen out to the channel. Something happened. Could be outside the tent. my jacket backwards. Don't forget to mention sometimes put my cap backwards emergency bright orange. So for some reason exactly based off my capist. So, I'm not going to say yes or no, but music. Okay, listen. Let's go. Okay, sorry. Dimension eye level. Eye to eye was off the pile. But we're trained. just not to put numbers down on the table, but definitely. Okay. Well, I've never experienced this and let's stop taking people off. The common sense in the pile can be chaos. I'm following it. Now, in my professionally trained opinion, dimension theoretically So% if we take him out now we do CPR of him yet 99.9% with this time frame assuming other medical conditions we can we can save him with a immediate CPR. So without thinking to the top of the pile his arm. Wow. Police officer. Same as 20 seconds. Police officer. And okay, okay. To the bottom of the pile. And that's it. Okay. I can start passing people down with the help of mention and eventually the pile. CPR to the bottom of the pile. I move a little bit further. They're trying to clear the pathway of the steps coming down and they can go backwards as being narrow outside the maz narrow mentions doesn't empty out that quickly. If we can open the steps going down, right? CPR and I hope you never need to, but if you did train for it, you know, time it changed me and naturally. Let's go. We're going back to work. I don't know range of time 180° can break. No break. I'm pumping. Please. No problem. Let's go. Match. Blow up. Blow up. I don't want to get too graphical. He's not alive. The reason is difficulty breathing. He wasn't choked to death. He was exploded to death. Body splashed up to the whole body. That's why crushed. >> Exactly. That's why the whole face all blood rushed to the top. Okay. Obviously paramedic is above my basically also. And also um I fainted. >> You fainted. >> I fainted. >> Drink. drink. We're going through the crowds. Did my circles. Now we have secondary assessment. Secondary assessment of the scene. for need for basic help. What was it saying? Triangular baggage Ambulances do local hospital moment. Hop to the bus. Okay. Okay. No problem. So just walking around I don't don't see any reason for that mention I don't know eventually obviously align everyone treats trauma in a different way >> my way isn't just okay next the clock is ticking tomorrow's another day from the episode was in the plots rocked of a vacation in Austria St. Anton the Austrian Alps.

The Israelis the car stop the engine. >> Yeah. >> The CPR is a workout. >> The CPR is a workout when it's an emotional scene which is 10 times more than any other CPRs we've done in the past. >> Mhm. Too bad I don't speak to anyone at the time the closest person the closest person to my life My life at the time was free 1232 in London. So obviously okay. Okay. And we're talking without a listen at the given moment. Let's call it half of it. But hearing the the I know someone was there present with me meaning didn't let me wander off saved my my my future that's a special special ability But the fact calm me down even though he was there fully for me obviously two hours slowly slowly.

Exercise exercise triggers and this is a trigger we're going to live with the rest of our lives. But for this specific I was able to settle it. That doesn't mean that there is a healing process but right as the involved in gave me therapy and was so October 7th and is a psycho trauma unit. made of atuli members of some trained additional training for treating for um spotting and treating mentioned that are experiencing live trauma in the moment long-term therapist and obviously it's still long-term therapist within social social workers part of the part of the department they're going to go to more sensitive calls So for example, the terrorist attack in Ramat on the buses the driver.

Whatever one is clean and the nurse hospital is I So he's yours. And we walk out the ambulance like we'll never drive like that. But straight away we're going to get in. Prank call. Wow. Sadly never sadly. But on the radio we used to go. Everyone just stay inside doors. Everyone just stay indoors. I don't know if it smells fishy. We come back. We're setting up base. Literally show up ambulance opens the back. She only had she had her thumb was was knocked off from shrapnel. Um bullets phen bullets nothing major bullets is major compared to everyone else man being stuck in the crossfire bullets is average what everyone else experienced but the police officers in compared to mention police officers but potentially the police officers only got 10 plus bullets says they were in the stro police station. They were under fire live back and forth. >> Mhm. >> To a point that they were surviving and they were fighting with the last breath. So automatically they're going to get hit way more and the adrenaline's pumping. And I'm saying he's leaving his fight mode to relax. Well, you're not going to feel it. 10 times the level 10 times higher from shooting. So the police and the amount of bullets was she only had four, five, six bullets and the transport head towards ambulances. We came to split decision. Let's call it that way. Compared to dropped off and then we turned around and they got the is going through and through for somehow even though it's the thickest part but the padding stop the bleeding is my hand was more or less okay but the drive again once it in the back fully conscious So so stabilized in the drive the drive is wiggly wiggly roads. So like it's not appropriate. >> Mhm. I pressed on the bullet. So the next 20 minutes I shouldn't fly backwards. A tricky drive and doing a beautiful job driving police checks and dodging all the traffic mention push glass cars 232. We're heading towards We're heading towards 1:00 and 2:00. 1:00.

I'm living a fear. Yeah. Who's to say is the next carpention tree every moving everything that's not moving potentially is going to end my life family and stop. But but my instinct is we hold it zigzagging up the street and we kept on see what became an army base on the corner of just right outside of the entrance of >> Yeah, it has gunfire. The gun machine gun fire literally soldiers was of they were lost and they were reflecting truck in the back bodies and I was Israelis kind of men piled like a World War II video.
