Even the most experienced pediatric orthopedics in the country have cases that happen for the first time: Professor Mark Idelman of Rambam, one of the top pediatric orthopedics in Israel, was caught this morning in Haifa by the alarms at Ruth Children's Hospital in the middle of applying a plaster cast to a toddler from the north.
Idelman had no hesitation, he calmly instructed the intern doctor to swing the child in his arms, while continuing to place the wet cast with precision on the child's injured leg, the three advanced from the clinic room to the corridor of the protected space and there the job of placing the cast was finished.
Prof. Idelman says:
I went to analyze and perform emergency orthopedic operations on children in dozens of countries. I have been in difficult places where I have performed difficult actions, but I have never had a gibus during a missile fire alarm.
