Dvir Shenrav Returns to MDA's Ambulances as an EMT
This was not just another shift in Magen David Adom's ambulance. Not for Dvir Shenrav, and not for MDA paramedic Yuval Aran. The last time they were together in an ambulance, was minutes after the horrifying terrorist attack in which Dvir's sister, Rina Shenrav, z'l, was murdered, and in which his father was wounded. Dvir was in critical condition and Yuval was fighting to save his life.
After his hospitalization and continuation of medical treatment, Dvir began to return to himself, did not give up, and successfully completed MDA's EMT course, which he had begun before the attack. Now, two months later, he returned to MDA's ambulance, this time as an EMT, together with the man who saved his life.
Dvir Shenrav told: "The first shift in MDA's ambulance was more than the closing of a circle for me. Hand in hand, with the man who saved me, we went to save more lives. The feeling of satisfaction was immense, and surpasses explanation through words. Despite this, it also returned me to some extent to the event in Dolev, and I had mixed feelings. The excitement and happiness were mixed with difficult memories, but I feel as if I overcame them, and am already looking forward to my next ambulance shift."
MDA paramedic Yuval Aran told:" Dvir is a real hero. I knew this, but it was confirmed and strengthened in his shift on the ambulance. He has special inner strength and a fierce will to donate from himself for the sake of others. He succeeded to put complications and difficulties aside, and to operate with exceptional professionalism and devotion. Personally, I was very excited to be together on the ambulance, both of us on shift, and I hope to have the opportunity to go out together again to save lives.
