A Monsey Hatzolah member is being hailed a hero after providing emergency medical care to a patient who fainted on a commercial flight last Thursday.
The flight from Newark to Phoenix was going smoothly until a passenger fainted, prompting the pilot to initiate protocols to make an emergency landing so that the stricken passenger could receive medical care.
However, Monsey Hatzolah member David Blau stepped in, providing the passenger-turned-patient with first aid and ensuring his medical safety, thus allowing the flight to continue on as scheduled.

Probably passed out from being forced to wear that stupid worthless disposable mask.
Mi Kiamcha Yisroel!!
Very nice, but Mi Kiamcha Yisroel?
Wouldn’t any other EMT who happened to have been on that plane or any other have done the same thing?
Why is everything a Kiddush Hashem? It cheapens the term. What trained professional wouldn’t help? Jews dying for being Jews is a Kiddush Hashem. Helping someone who fainted is not.
great story.
i wonder, do hatzolah always carry medical things for situations like this? or did the plane provide ?
Kuvult, you are mixing up dying al kiddush hashem, and stam making a kiddush Hashem. Saving someone is most certainly a kiddush hashem.
Why a Kiddush HaShem? Because he’s an obvious religious Jew caught in the act of doing a very fine deed. it makes שם שמים מתאהב על ידו. He’s an obvious ambassador of HaShem here (dressed as an observant Jew) and he’s acting in an admirable fashion.
Wherever a yid goes he is supposed to make sure he’s making a Kidush Hashem so when a frum yid is the only one on the flight out of 200 people to save another passenger it’s a Kidush Hashem
Commenters: Why post stupid comments? It cheapens the whole meaning of troll.
Kiddush Hashem
Kuvult…Know this – if a Yid is not making a Kiddush Hashem, the Yid is making a Chilul Hashem…Yidden are never just idle. I was told this by a Gaon.
