About two months ago, Nurit Moses, 58, left her job in Savion, got into her car, and began her routine drive to her home in Netanya after a busy day at work.
After driving for a few minutes, Moses stopped at a traffic light in Kiryat Ono where she suddenly had a heart attack and lost consciousness. Her car began to slide into the intersection between the passing vehicles until it finally collided with a wall.
Dennis Srilan, a passerby, immediately called Magen David Adom’s 101 emergency call center to report what at first seemed like a normal traffic accident.
The EMT dispatcher instructed Srilan on how to provide first aid, while simultaneously dispatching first responders and a Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU) ambulance team to the scene.
Noam Dahan, a senior EMT who was nearby, arrived immediately and recognized this was no ordinary accident. He realized the woman had suffered a cardiac incident. Dahan started CPR and connected a defibrillator, shocking her into consciousness.
The mobile intensive care team, led by MDA paramedic Dor Tzabri and EMT Nathaniel Dudkevichz, arrived on the scene, gave Moses advanced medical and drug treatment and, together with Dahan, transported her to Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikva. During the transport, Moses was fully conscious and communicating with the team.
About two weeks after the incident, Moses was released from the hospital and was reunited in Natanya with the MDA team that saved her life.
“Inside the MICU I was already conscious; I came back to life,” said Moses. “This is something that is not ordinary. I thank you so much. I feel like there was a miracle there. You are my miracle.”
Israel’s Channel 12 recently reunited the MDA team and good Samaritan with Nurit Moses. Watch the video:
