‘It was stressful, we were responsible for two lives, not one,’ says Shaare Zedek doctor, crediting a quick-thinking citizen for recognizing stroke and calling an ambulance
With two lives hanging in the balance, doctors in Jerusalem successfully delivered a baby while treating the mother for a stroke.
The woman was nine months pregnant when she had a sudden stroke and was rushed to Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Within minutes, a team of seven doctors was working on a plan to save her life while preparing for a Caesarean section to ensure the safe delivery of her baby girl.
“The birth ended successfully and the baby was delivered safely,” said the mother, who requested not to be named publicly.
