Netanel Mosai is a volunteer EMT with United Hatzalah. He is married with one child, lives in Bnei Brak and works in Rishon Letzion. Recently, one morning, Mosai was abruptly awakened by his United Hatzalah radio that alerted him to a traffic accident on the nearby highway. Still in his pajamas, Netanel grabbed his helmet, rushed outside to his ambucycle and raced to the scene, arriving in mere minutes!
As he approached the scene Mosai immediately recognized one of the cars from the collision as his own. He ran over with his medical kit and found his wife who was in her ninth month of pregnancy in the driver seat. Thankfully, she was not severely injured, but she was clearly shaken. The trunk of the car had been badly dented in what looked to be a rear-end collision.
Netanel assessed his wife and seeing that her condition was stable, reassured and calmed her before running to the other vehicle to assess the status of the elderly woman in the driver's seat. The woman was not significantly injured in the accident, but still, Netanel took her vital signs in order to establish a baseline. For the next 8 minutes, Netanel continued to shuttle between the vehicles, monitoring his wife and the elderly woman until the ambulance arrived.
In a gesture that can only be understood as heroic in the extreme, once Mosai’s wife was cared for and loaded into the ambulance, Mosai remained behind with the second patient, the elderly woman, and continued to monitor her vital signs until another ambulance could arrive to transport her as well. As soon as the woman was no longer in need of assistance, Netanel jumped back on his ambucycle and rushed to the hospital to join his wife.
At the hospital, Mosai was received with respect by the shocked medical staff for going the extra mile and staying to watch over the elderly woman even though his own wife was being admitted. They even respected his commitment to the cause as having performed the entire treatment and arriving at the hospital in his pajamas.
After a full check-up and ultrasound in the hospital, Mosai's wife was discharged with a clean bill of health. Two weeks later, she gave birth to their first-born child who was healthy and neither the mother nor the child suffered any lingering effects from the accident.
