An Israeli tourist, wounded when a bus carrying Israeli tourists was hit by a bomb explosion, is being helped by Israeli paramedics at a hospital in Burgas, Bulgaria, 19 July 2012.
The hospital in the Bulgarian city of Burgas reacted well to last week's terror attack emergency, according to Gabi Barbash, an Israeli MD.
Dr. Gabi Barbash, the CEO of the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, headed the Israeli medical delegation to Burgas.
"Post factum, it is important to acknowledge that the medical response of the hospital in Burgas to a complex situation it had never before encountered was outstanding," Barbash says in his Jerusalem Post article.
"Its conversion from a resort town's first response medical station to a "triage" medical operation was excellent. The staff correctly evaluated the clinical situation of each casualty, and capably orchestrated the immediate evacuation of the three most severely injured among them to tertiary hospitals in the capital city of Sofia, thus almost certainly saving their lives."
The Israeli doctor describes in detail the evacuation of Israeli tourists from Bulgaria in the wake of last Wednesday's bus bombing that killed 5 Israeli tourists and one Bulgarian bus driver in Burgas.
