Israeli Doctors Save American Jew at JFK Airport
[Ynet News] Itamar Eichner - Dr. Reuven Bromiker of Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem and ER nurse Julie Benbenishti of Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem had just landed at New York's JFK Airport on Tuesday when an American Jew who was on the same flight collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. They were in the U.S. to accompany the return of a seven-year-old Israeli girl severely injured in a car accident, and had advanced medical equipment with them, including a respirator, heart monitor and defibrillator. The Israeli doctor and nurse immediately began to resuscitate the American with chest compression, cardiac massage, and defibrillation. After several minutes, the patient regained both his pulse and consciousness, as the crowd gathered in the terminal burst into cheers and applause.
