Picture of the Day: Shliach Trains for Emergencies

Rabbi Dov Gruzman, Shliach and volunteer Hatzalah member in Vienna, Austria, dons an orange jacket as he trains in Israel with the Magen Dovid Adom on responding to medical emergencies.

Rabbi Gruzman is part of a delegation of Hatzalah medics from Vienna who are in Israel to participate in the MDA’s International Unit training program.

The medics participated in a drill that imitated a severe car accident scenario, with many victims suffering of variety of injuries. This drill has challenged the delegation as it was their first experience treating an MCI (Multi-Casualty Incident).

The drill was held after intensive trauma training and practice.

Participating in the drill as well were two ambulances, a scooter and youth volunteers from the MDA Jerusalem station.
