Muslim Paramedic at Jewish Wedding Recalls How He Saved Bride from Death
(Jerusalem Post) Alex Winston - Last week Muawiya Kabha, a Muslim paramedic in United Hatzalah, made a special appearance at the wedding of Shahar Kugelmas and Nir David. In April 2009, he had arrived at the scene of a car crash near Petah Tikva where Shahar was a passenger. "When I arrived there after two minutes, the doctor told me, 'this injured girl, don't touch her. I have already declared her dead'," Kabha recalled. "When I got to Shahar, she was in cardiac arrest. And per protocol, the doctor was right, we needed to declare the death. But what I felt from above is that I still need to try and save her." Kabha continued CPR on Shahar for 40 minutes while she was still stuck in the car. "We continued CPR on the way to the hospital and at the entrance to the hospital she had a heartbeat....In the end, I must have done what I needed to do, because look, Shahar is with us."
