    Why does this have to boil down to personal insults?

    I thought we are debating/discussing the subject why all the bashing?

    I dont know about Health’s medical degree, however he does have a point.

    As of now I am an EMT studying paramedic.

    Medics have to act on their own not follow orders. (not referring to medical control only to the actual scene and treatment plan).

    I think the health wrote it for those that claim to be educated in childbirth.

    Although, I think that the entire Megillah could be very much simplified.

    Childbirth (less the complications) Is a very uncomplicated procedure. It gets complicated only when something goes wrong.

    Just one thing, most medical books especially those that focus on biology or anatomy and physiology. Make sure to sprinkle some atheism that’s how they answer some of the why questions.

    You are right, there is a lot of nefloas habore to learn in the medical world although I am less advanced (medic) but I learned a lot.

    Good points. However why make a blanket statement.

    Most people I know live very modest lives with no expensive vacations.

    Some rabbonim especially chasidishe claim that there is a tomeih spirit on a photograph.

    Don’t ask me why there are so many publications with photos it’s only content.

    Once heard this, rather have one small fight than a never ending fight.

    This sounds like an unhealthy relationship. Put a stop on the unhealthy part or else you will pay for this in a hard way. Even if this means that this person will temporarily upset in the long run it will pay off.

    I thing that it really depends on your family and community minhag.

    In the surrounding that I grew up, it was unacceptable to eat together with unrelated teenager girls.

    Nothing with the girls, only because Hashem incorporated temptations into nature and we gotta deal with it.

    Could be it’s not true, however there lots of other things that demonstrate nefloas haborah. Especially in medical books.

    As a pre hospital medical provider I cannot recall such a thing.

    The Rambam also discusses this in moreh nevuchim.

    He writes a bit different then in hitches teshuva.

    However the way I get it, it is something the Humans cannot grasp. It’s like explaining to someone a color that they never saw. It’s a concept impossible for us to comprehend.

    Talk to someone who knows both of you.

    Sounds likes she is jealous of you.

    Best thing would be to be open to her. Nothing much to loose and lots to gain.

    Health, i never disagreed with you.

    I was just stating the facts, not if it’s the right thing to do or not.

    And for the record, I am not in hatzalah. However I did work in the 911 ambulance corps and attended to OB calls.

    That’s the thing, they will go on talk shows and make it into the non Jewish paper however they will not consult with the rabbonim in charge.

    There is a reason why hatzalah has rabbonim on board.

    Yungerman,

    it is very simple. they dont care about the Rabonim and the Torah.

    There is a different agenda at play here. that is the reason they did not even consider consulting with the Vaad Rabonim of Hatzalah or any coordinators.

    Health,

    dont get so worked up. I was referring to a fact, not an i deal.

    up until recently Birth, has been considered a pure BLS call. however now it is an ALS call.

    the reason for that is because most people that call 911 for a birth are people with minimum prenatal care.

    however in the Orthodox community people call Hatzala NOT because they are not informed or did not go to a doctor. only because they waited till the last minute.

    is it the right thing to do? no! but thats what they do.

    the reason there are more deliveries with Hatzala as with EMS.

    is simply because we have more children, meaning that a mother of five or six, will wait till the last minute (washing laundry and dishes) as opposed to a non Jewish family of one and a half.. (including the pet)

    I spoke with a few Hatzala Medics.

    they claim that it wont work.

    A) there is no Halacha problem for a male to deliver a baby.

    B) given the intensity and drama of the situation, there is no Hashkafa problem.

    C) for the same reason, there are no uncomfortable feelings WHILE the delivery.

    now, below are the reasons why it is wrong to have females in hatzala.

    A) there will be minling (as is with New Square hatzala a halachic situtaion they have to deal with)

    B) the medics and female assistants will be forced to work together in a team.

    C) there is the issue of yichud (during the transport and on the way back).

    D) as much as ladies will feel uncomfortable that a male member participated in the delivery, ladies will feel more uncomfortable with a female, especially if they are somewhat acquainted and will meet in the future.

    yes, it is an embarrassing situation, as is with many other medical emergencies.

    One Reason on why Women are not permitted into Hatzolah is because although a female patient might feel uncomfortable when the emergency medical provider is a male.

    however having a woman on the rescue team brings a lot of problems for the male members on the team. which includes problems like yichud. or problems of mingling.

    this is something which the New Square Hatzolah must deal with and are having ‘problems’ with.

    The rabonim and the coordinators know about this. and therefore will not permit Hatzolah to become a mixed organization.

    First, I think that it takes a lot of courage to come out and admit that the assumption was wrong.

    so lets all applaud 42 for that.

    next, lets move on, what has been done has been done. the best way to clean this would be by not discussing this.

    I still go with Cain.

    A) what makes him inexperienced? because he didnt run for office yet? he has the expertise in the field that we need the most which is JOBS.

    B) I dont follow politcs so much, so I dont know what you mean that Cain is a fool. I do know that he holds some degrees, and that is straight forward.

    First, I gather from your post that you are not a young person, as you have adopted and married off the child.

    which means that there are treatments that are now available which were not available when you were seeking help.

    Second, you have a tremendous zechus, actually its a never ending chain of zechusim, as the child is who she is because of what you put in to her.

    Third, if anyone thinks about adopting, it should be discussed with a ruv or someone capable of understanding the situation.

    there are a few sad situations which I know that the child never knew that they were adopted, the results were disastrous.

    Kindle is an eBook, while an iPad is an iPad with thousands of apps.

    I own an iPad, only use it for work. great for logging into my computer using team viewer (free app)

    there is no start up time (unlike my laptop) always has internet connection, and lightning fast speed.

    I pop it open take out my bluetooth keyboard and start working right away. its the best thing for remote computing.
