An Israeli military doctor saved a 12-day-old Palestinian baby girl who had stopped breathing.
Lt. Michael Findler, 28, the lone doctor at the Halamish military base near Ramallah in the West Bank, resuscitated the baby with CPR. Following an exam, the baby was taken by Palestinian ambulance to a hospital in Ramallah. The mother had brought the infant to the gates of the base at 3 a.m. Monday seeking help.
It was the seventh time since Findler arrived at the base two months ago that he had provided emergency services to Palestinians from area villages, and third in the past two weeks, he told JTA. Last week he cared for a 4-year-old Palestinian girl that he diagnosed with meningitis, as well as a young woman with intracranial bleeding. He also delivered a Palestinian baby in his clinic.
All of the outcomes have been good so far, he said, adding that it can sometimes be difficult to find out what happened to his patients after they are taken away by a Palestinian ambulance.
Findler said it is "very common" for Palestinians to come to the base seeking medical care.
"The Palestinians know that in our base they get the emergency medical treatment they need," he said.
The base is located near the Palestinian village of Nabi Saleh, which is the site of weekly protests by local residents and activists against the West Bank settlement of Halamish, which locals say has taken over their land. Findler says he has cared for Palestinians injured during the often violent demonstrations.
He sees so many Palestinian cases at Halamish, Findler says, because PA ambulances have a difficult time reaching the villages and they do not have paramedics on board when they arrive.
"In our area we are the most capable medical clinic," he said.

The baby's parents won't, don't, will never feel a modicum of appreciation, gratitude to the land-usurping Zionist doctor for saving her life, and may very well grow up to raise her own family of terrorists who will end up blowing Jews up one day. And Israel;the doctor, they should be reaping some miniscule PR credit for the humanitarian aid they provide like having saved the Palestinian girl's life but not doing it,not admitting these people into the hospital under such dire conditions would only make Israel look infinitely worse, so they do it because they have to,
Call me a cynic, but someone's gonna get killed doing that. All it takes is one suicide bomber. They are an exceptionally lucrative target, since they are probably instilling a modicum of goodwill in some Palestinians.
BTW, Rachel Corrie was never run over by a bulldozer, she hit her fool head against the blade or some debris, after tumbling into its path from a precarious perch on top of a mound of rubble. She may very well have recovered had she received proper medical treatment, or even if she had received no medical treatment. Unfortunately for her, she was taken to a Palestinian hospital where she died under circumstances that have never been explained.
Inevitably there will eventually be a negative outcome to a case. Will the Palestinians be understanding?

Oh, but wait. The first bad outcome, and they’ll be rioting and burning, claiming the Jooos! murdered their baby for spare parts and of course blood for their voracious appetites.
