In a Heartbeat

it was 3:30 a.m. and by Mor Sultan woke up with chest pains he wasn't sure whether it was just experiencing some indigestion or maybe it was something more serious so just to be on the safe side he woke up his wife and they decided to call hatala she called and within seconds hatala paramedics were at the door we pulled up to the house within 30 seconds of being called and we met the gentleman at the front door and we could see he's in you know somewhat of distress um he seemed uncomfortable they brought with him a special high-tech machine called the life Pack 12 that tests the heart they said you know what we'll put the leads on you just cuz we're here and and you're here so let's just double check so they put the leads on me and that's when it happened subtly he says he's really not feeling well his eyes roll back into his head and it begins to have a seizure we immediately looked at the cardiac monitor the life Peg and we saw that he was in Cardiac Arrest he had just died in front of us the paramedics were forced to shock his lifeless body we immedately shocked him in order to jump start his heart and bring him back to life within 30 seconds the patient was speaking with us again he knew where he was he knew his name and he wanted to know what happened my gratitude is with them my wife wife's gr my children's gratitude my family's gratitude doesn't end Hat's buses are equipped with defibrillators but usually never with a life Pack 12 so why did at Sola volunteers have a detection machine with them and how were their paramedics there and why were they seconds away from the house at 3:30 in the morning listen to this amazing story I got a phone call on Tish from a relative of mine up in the Kell Mountain and they told me that their son hasn't been feeling love for a few days he was extremely weak so they called the catat Sala they found his heart rate was very very slow they really wanted to go to the local hospital but the parents were insistent on calling the son's pediatrician do shanik insisted that he'd be brought to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia we put together a crew over here and we started going out because of this child's nature and symptoms we decided to bring some Advanced life support equipment including a life Pack 12 which is essentially an EKG machine and it's able to monitor a patient's rate Rhythm and whatever else is going on we met up with them we assumed care and we continued on the way to uh chop it took them 4 hours to reach Philadelphia and by the time they were done with the entire trip it was the Wii hours of the morning the guy who was driving was just driving he was also extremely exhausted and we missed the first exit that would have been ideal we missed the second exit which would have brought brought us to Lakewood a few minutes later we ended up taking the exit which is up in Freehold which is an extra 50 minutes out of the way as we pulled into town we're all looking at each other we could bar even keep our eyes open and as they were driving down countyline Road they received the call I my husband is complaining that he has chest PS he's he's he's very nervous we'll send somebody over thank you we said instead of having other members get out of bed we're a couple of blocks away let's just head over see what's going on shot every second counted to get us to be exactly where we had to be at the exact right second a liquid at solo vehicle with a team of paramedics and the exact equipment needed were on their way to his doorstep at 3:30 in the morning before he even woke up the world stopped for me everybody was there for me when I needed them to be there without any thought of themselves many times in life we feel like we're up against a brick wall whether it's difficulties finding a sh or a job whether it's challenges at home or the struggle of raising children we have to remind ourselves constantly that way before we ever knew there was a problem Hashem already prepared the solution all Hashem wants from us is to turn to him trust in him and ultimately come closer to him every day is another gift and every day is another reason to say thank you [Music] you hatala salutes Riverside abstract and preferred healthare for their continued support of our community's critical organizations thank you
