Being a Paramedic In Israel with Aryeh Myers

Working in EMS, Fire and Police is stressful enough, but how do you treat patients when there are literally rockets being fired at you?

WYE sits down with Israeli Paramedic Aryeh Myers to discuss what it is like to provide patient care in, as he calls it, “An on again off again war zone.” He shares his perspectives of life as well as the story that caught the attention of WYE when he posted about working a CPR case and having to got the bomb proof room until it was safe to keep working on the patient.

• How can you balance your own safety and that of your patients when air raid sirens blare?
• Do response patterns change during times of attack and, if so, how?
• What religious restrictions does Aryeh face providing care and how does that compare to other religious groups around the world?

This was indeed an eye opening (ear opening?) discussion with an old friend of the show!
