Dr. Reuven Bromiker from Shaare Zedek Medical Center and ER nurse Julie Benbenishti of the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital were both on their way to a medical rescue mission in the United States, aimed at returning a seven-year-old girl severely injured in a car accident in NY home to Israel. Little did the two know that their rescue efforts would begin a lot sooner than anticipated.
After their flight landed, the doctor and nurse stood in line at passport control along with their medical equipment—including a respirator, hear monitor and defibrillator. Just as their passports were being stamped, frantic cries of “is anyone here a doctor” sounded through the terminal.
A fellow passenger, an American Jew, who was on the flight from Israel with Bromiker and Benbenishti, had collapsed in front of his wife and daughter and had gone into cardiac arrest.
The Israeli doctor and nurse immediately sprung into action. They dropped their passports, ran up to him, and began to resuscitate him along with a fellow Israeli doctor as well as a New York medic.
After several gut-wrenching minutes, the patient regained both his pulse and consciousness. The crowd gathered in the terminal burst into cheers and applause, congratulating the Israeli team. Paramedics then transferred the patient to a local New York hospital.

Beautifull story!
It would be nice if there were courses in EMT CPR (locally),
so regular people like most of us, that have no clue what to do in such situations.
