I can’t comment on the majority of your post. But as a CEVO driver, I was taught to pass traffic on the left, against oncoming traffic, because it allows you more options to maneuver your vehicle. If you pass on the right you are boxed in between the sidewalk and the car you are passing.
All this is assuming that it is safe to conduct the maneuvers without endangering others.
And one more thing, lights and sirens do give you a legal right of way. Rather its a request from other drivers to allow you to pass. For example if an emergency vehicle blows through a red light while lights and sirens are engaged and t bones a car that has a green light the emergency vehicle operator is liable.

You’re right!! If the music is lower then guys and girls would be able to mingle with each other actually have a conversation and potentially make their own shidduchim!
Lower the music = solve the crisis!! 😀

As I already posted I agree that my story is anecdotal and proves nothing.
Regarding the 12th grade boys to 9th grade girls example,
I have only seen numbers (from the organization LIBI) from monsey and Lakewood. Even if you assume that their numbers are correct, it doesn’t prove anything.
There are dozens of frum communities across the world and shidduchim a boy/girl from Lakewood/Monsey isn’t only going to marry a girl from the same city that they are from.
12th grade boys don’t exclusively marry 9th grade girls. Some might marry a 10th,11th, 12th,or even 8th grade girl. The same is true that some of the 11th grade boys, some will marry girls who aren’t in the corresponding 8th grade. Boys and girls have never exclusively chosen their spouses from the grade 4 years below theirs.
Another small factor that plays a role and needs to be considered is that people enter, and unfortunately leave, the frum community. This can also slightly mess with the 12th grade 9th grade numbers.

“this is one of the largest problems facing klal yisroel right now where thousands of people cant get married”
I challenge this outrageous statement. There are not thousands of single people. Stop trying to prove your point, and further your agenda, by using drastically over inflated numbers.
Here is a challenge that I pose to people when debating the “shidduch crisis,” name me all the older single girls that you know and I’ll name a older single guy. Unfortunately, I have never lost this challenge.
There are many factors as to why some people get married later or unfortunately never at all. This is true regardless of gender.

If someone “stole multi-billions of dollars cumulatively from thousands of people” it probably resulted in a massive public chillul hashem making teshuva a lot more complicated, if not impossible.

I’m pretty sure even if a dermatologist would show up on scene of a major trauma incident he/she can demand control of the scene. Denying any MD/DO authority of a scene is a quick way to have your certification revoked.
I don’t know what the law is regarding other healthcare professionals (PA,NP,DPM, etc)

“bk613, can you please describe for us here the difference between a “kosher chill” and a “non-kosher chill”?”
No. No matter what I say you are going to disagree.
Use your imagination.

“Hatzalah is specifically designed for pekuach nefesh situations”
Yes, so is the 911 system. That doesn’t mean people don’t call for stupid reasons. Ask anyone in the field (either Hatzola or 911) over 90% of calls aren’t real emergencies.
“Hatzalah can’t make a determination everytime a call comes in whether it is an appropriate use of Hatzalah, since they risk making a wrong call if they deny service and it turns out it really was a true emergency.”
Your ignorance on this matter is glaring. Even if s/o calls Hatzola and says explicitly “I stubbed my toe last week and need an ambulance” they are legally obligated to respond. If they don’t they will be closed down by the DOH by the end of the day. They cannot pick and choose what they respond to.

There are MANY potential issues that WILL arise during school. The only way to successfully get through it is by choosing a Rav while you are still in undergrad who will guide through all of the obstacles.

What can be done to avoid bacteria mutating to resist antibiotics?
The real answer is nothing. Bacterial resistance is a natural phenomenon that current science has no way of preventing. The other answers that others have listed are only ways to slow down the process.

Why did the antibiotics cause it to mutate?
Bacteria, like every organism, wants to survive so it allows for mutations to occur in its DNA. These changes may make pathways of certain antibiotics ineffective against the new form of bacteria

Google ohr naava, the website and phone number are the first things that come up.

I have tried sefardi food from many different sefardi homes, takeouts, and caterers and I really dislike it.

@health. No I’m not a “Hatzola guy” (although I do have several years of pre-hospital and emergency medicine experience) if you look back I actually agreed with you regarding EN, it’s when you started making ridiculous statements and refusing to substantiate them that I took issue.
You are a private individual that is slandering a very popular organization on a public forum so yes that does open you up to public scrutiny.

“umiquitin – Your asking a question that has an opinionized response to it, It’s to each and their own to answer this.”

And some women feel the answer is yes. So your opinion is irrelevant. If you don’t want to use their services (and u should never need EN or Hatzalah) don’t, but don’t slander an organization that is filling the needs of some people

I trust 2scents, who is a Hatzalah member.
Where did he say that? Besides this is the internet, you can claim whatever you want.

“Remind me why EZ exists when we have Hatzalah”
According to their website they exist for ob/gyn cases.

Because the frum divisions are why Dr. Lander opened Touro.

How is the gov acting inappropriately? There is a national draft. The gov allows people who are in yeshiva ( or at least claim they are) to get a deferment. There needs to be some form of a system where the gov can keep record of everyone, otherwise no one would show up.
I agree that the army/gov isn’t run according to halacha, but that is completely irrelevant. The last time the U.S. had a draft even those who were exempt still needed to fill out papers.

” but rebbeim in yeshivos don’t refer to their students as “future husbands and fathers of klal yisroel”?”

Mine do. Granted probably not as much as girls are referred to as “future mother’s” but many of their mussar shmuzzen are about molding us into good bnei torah who can raise a proper torah home. And yes I’m in a pretty mainstream yeshiva.

They actually go to medical school and then specialize in podiatry (residency, interenship) if they so choose

Thats not true.

Orthopedists treat bones and muscles, but podiatrists treat foot ailments that include infections, skin diseases, neurological problems and other stuff I know nothing about.

So go to an orthopedist for bone problems, dermatologist for skin problems and a neurologist for neurological problems. That’s what people do for the rest of the body. What’s so special about feet?

While what your saying might be true of retail pharmacists, pharmacists who work in hospital/long term care facilities are very knowledgeable and are often involved in formulating patient care plans. That being said getting a job in these settings almost always requires doing an optional residency program which has a strong clinical component.

I can’t guaranty much in life but if anybody really read up on this and Wakefields research they would be left with questions.

I think it is based on the concerns some parents have regarding any autism risk involved. While many say that the vaccine has been proven safe it would be more acurate to state that there is no clear connection between autism and the vaccine and some studies show little correlation. There is no absolute proof that there is no connection.

There is also no proof that learning gemorah doesn’t cause heart attaks. What’s your point. The Dr. Who made the autism claim was a quack with serious conflicts of interest in the case. His claim is just as outrageous as the one I just made.

If you retake a course I am pretty sure both show up on your transcript and each grad school has their own way of averaging the 2. That’s why it makes the most sense to self study the material and do well on a standardized test. By retaking a course you run the risk of not doing well the second time either.
