October 7, 5:30 PM - Doctor Battles Darkness | Dr. Shlomo Gensler | Masters Of Emergency Ep. 11

Take a deep dive into the October 7th massacre, Israel's worst emergency. In this mini-series of eight podcast episodes, co-hosts Dovie Maisel and Elad Bachar will take you minute by minute through that harrowing day, showcasing United Hatzalah's response from the first responders in the field to the commanders at headquarters. In this sixth episode, they are joined by Dr. Shlomo Gensler, an anesthesiologist in one of the busiest Jerusalem Hospitals, who, in his spare time, volunteers with United Hatzalah. Dr. Gensler, who saved hundreds on October 7 due to his quick actions, describes taking calls guiding patients who were trapped in Gaza Pariphary towns that were surrounded by terrorists, making the decision to take his Advanced Life Support (ALS) Ambucar down to help, and arriving at Heletz. Dr. Gensler, along with United Hatzalah EMT Moishe Paskesz, then entered the active areas to save as many lives as possible. They set up shop in Netivot, providing triage and treating many patients that were brought there, and eventually moved on to Shuva Junction, where they worked deep into the night. Thanks to the professional work of Dr. Gensler and his colleagues, many more patients from that horrific day survived. The next episode in the series will pick up the story at 9:04 pm.
