health,”Then Hatzolah would have as many deliveries as other EMS – next to none!”
just FYI, i know a frum EMT who works 911. ya right they get next to none. in a shift and a half, he was called to 9 (!) deliveries. yes i said 9. one set of twins IIRC. after the 9th his chief/head of ems in his area sent him and his partner home. he got off the rest of the week, his partner the end of the shift b/c it was only her third or something. (note, this was in BP).
and if you live in a frum area there is a chance a frum man will show up when you call 911. no givens.
and there is such a thing as precocious labor. not everyone has a few hour warning when to go to the hospital
