When Dr. Martin Jacobson, an anesthesiologist from New Jersey, heard that Israel was under attack, he immediately volunteered his professional services.
“Like a lot of people do, I felt a little hopeless and a little helpless sitting, watching, scrolling through news on my phone or watching on TV,” Dr. Jacobson said in an interview with Medpage Today. “I'm Jewish. I'm not Israeli, but Israelis are my family. That's my family also. There are only so many of us, so I felt like I had to do something.”
Anticipating an increase in critical care patients, the Hadassah Medical Organization reached out to Dr. Jacobson, and he readily agreed to do whatever was needed.
Dr. Jacobson is now working at Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem, helping to save the lives of some of Israel’s most severely injured patients.
