Eight years ago, Prof. Suzanne Karan, an anesthesiologist from Rochester, NY, did a research sabbatical at the Hadassah Medical Organization.
When Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, Prof. Karan quickly began making calls to hospitals in Israel to see how she could help. She soon received an invitation to volunteer at Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem in Jerusalem.
"It's not like they can't do anything without us," Prof. Karan told The Times of Israel, "but there are people who have gone off to the military reserves and some non-Israeli doctors who have gone back to their home countries, so I think without us they just might be a little bit more stressed. It's good to have a couple of extra people on hand."
