At the IDF Hospital in Nepal
(New York Jewish Week) Nathan Jeffay - As of Tuesday night, the IDF field hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal, has treated almost 1,000 patients, delivered seven babies, and performed 50 surgeries, as Nepalese flock here based on word-of-mouth reports about the treatment on offer. Avi Alpert, 49, a U.S. immigrant to Israel, is the man who keeps the emergency room running smoothly, as doctors walk around with tablets inputting digital records and people wait well under an hour to be seen. It's a setup that "any emergency department in the world would envy," said Alpert.
