IDF Reserve Doctor Saves the Life of a Palestinian Man

Posted on February 16, 2012

Captain Dr. Alejandro Murninkas’s yearly reserve service was unlike any other this year.  On Monday morning he was paged to arrive as soon as possible to a building site outside Jerusalem. When Alenjandro arrived at the scene, he saw a Palestinian man in critical condition, unconscious and breathing shallowly. The medics, lead by Alejandro, started treating the man, until his pulse steadied and his condition was defined as stable.
