Eli Beer: The fastest ambulance? A motorcycle

Prevodilac: Stefan Zrnović Lektor: Ivana Korom

This is an ambucycle.

Ovo je ambucikl.

This is the fastest way to reach any medical emergency.

To je najbrži način da doprete do bilo kakve hitne medicinske situacije.

It has everything an ambulance has except for a bed.

Ima sve što je neophodno hitnoj pomoći osim kreveta.

You see the defibrillator. You see the equipment.

Vidite defibrilator i opremu.

We all saw the tragedy that happened in Boston.

Svi smo videli tragediju koja se desila u Bostonu.

When I was looking at these pictures,

Kada sam gledao te slike,

it brought me back many years to my past

to me je vratilo mnogo godina u prošlost

when I was a child.

kada sam bio dete.

I grew up in a small neighborhood in Jerusalem.

Odrastao sam u maloj sredini u Jerusalimu.

When I was six years old, I was walking back from school

Kada sam imao 6 godina, vraćao sam se iz škole

on a Friday afternoon with my older brother.

sa svojim starijim bratom i bio je petak popodne.

We were passing by a bus stop.

Prolazili smo pored autobuske stanice.

We saw a bus blow up in front of our eyes.

Videli smo da je autobus eksplodirao pred našim očima.

The bus was on fire, and many people were hurt and killed.

Autobus je goreo i mnogo je bilo povređenih i mrtvih ljudi.

I remembered an old man

Setio sam se jednog starijeg čoveka

yelling to us and crying to help us get him up.

koji je jaukao prema nama i zapomagao da mu pomognemo da ustane.

He just needed someone helping him.

Samo mu je trebao neko ko će mu pomoći.

We were so scared and we just ran away.

Bili smo prestrašeni i samo smo pobegli.

Growing up, I decided I wanted to become a doctor and save lives.

Odrastajući, odlučio sam da želim da budem doktor i spašavam živote.

Maybe that was because of what I saw when I was a child.

Možda zbog onog što sam video kada sam bio dete.

When I was 15, I took an EMT course,

Kada sam imao 15 godina, pohađao sam kurs prve pomoći

and I went to volunteer on an ambulance.

i volontirao sam u hitnoj pomoći.

For two years, I volunteered on an ambulance in Jerusalem.

Dve godine sam volontirao u hitnoj pomoći u Jerusalimu.

I helped many people,

Pomogao sam mnogim ljudima,

but whenever someone really needed help,

ali kad god bi nekome trebala istinska pomoć,

I never got there in time. We never got there.

nikada nisam stizao na vreme. Nikada nismo bili tu.

The traffic is so bad. The distance, and everything.

Saobraćaj je veoma loš. Razdaljina i sve.

We never got there when somebody really needed us.

Nikada nismo stizali kad je nekome trebala hitna pomoć.

One day, we received a call about a seven-year-old child

Jednog dana, primili smo poziv o sedmogodišnjem detetu

choking from a hot dog.

koje se davilo hot - dogom.

Traffic was horrific, and we were coming from

Gužva je bila ogromna i stizali smo

the other side of town in the north part of Jerusalem.

sa drugog kraja grada u severnom delu Jerusalima.

When we got there, 20 minutes later,

Kada smo stigli tamo, 20 minuta kasnije

we started CPR on the kid.

počeli smo da dajemo kardiopulmonalnu reanimaciju (CPR).

A doctor comes in from a block away,

Doktor je došao iz susednog stambenog bloka,

stop us, checks the kid, and tells us to stop CPR.

zaustavio nas, proverio dete i rekao nam da prekinemo davanje prve pomoći.

That second he declared this child dead.

U tom momentu proglasio je dete mrtvim.

At that moment, I understood

U tom trenutku sam shvatio

that this child died for nothing.

da je ovo dete uzalud umrlo.

If this doctor, who lived one block away from there,

Da je taj doktor, koji je živeo jedan blok dalje od tog mesta,

would have come 20 minutes earlier,

došao 20 minuta ranije

not have to wait until that siren he heard before

i da nije morao da čeka zvuk sirene

coming from the ambulance,

koji je dopirao iz ambulantnih kola,

if he would have heard about it way before,

da je čuo za taj događaj ranije,

he would have saved this child.

spasio bi život tog deteta.

He could have run from a block away.

Mogao je da dotrči iz susednog bloka.

He could have saved this child.

Mogao je da spase to dete.

I said to myself, there must be a better way.

Rekao sam sebi, mora da postoji bolji način.

Together with 15 of my friends --

Zajedno sa svojih 15 prijatelja,

we were all EMTs —

a svi smo bili medicinski tehničari,

we decided, let's protect our neighborhood,

odlučio sam da zaštitim naš komšiluk,

so when something like that happens again,

tako da ukoliko se nešto tako ponovo dogodi,

we will be there running to the scene a lot before the ambulance.

mi bismo bili tu da pritrčimo na mesto događaja mnogo pre hitne pomoći.

So I went over to the manager of the ambulance company

Stoga sam otišao kod menadžera hitne pomoći

and I told him, "Please, whenever you have a call

i rekao mu: "Molim vas, kad god imate hitan poziv

coming into our neighborhood,

za pomoć u našem komšiluku,

we have 15 great guys who are willing

mi imamo 15 odličnih momaka koji su voljni

to stop everything they're doing and run and save lives.

da prekinu sve što u tom trenutku rade i potrče da spasu živote.

Just alert us by beeper.

Samo nas alarmirajte pejdžerom.

We'll buy these beepers, just tell your dispatch

Kupićemo ih, samo recite dišpečeru

to send us the beeper, and we will run and save lives."

da nam pošalje poziv i potrčaćemo i spasiti živote."

Well, he was laughing. I was 17 years old. I was a kid.

On se smejao. Imao sam 17 godina. Bio sam dete.

And he said to me — I remember this like yesterday —

Rekao mi je - sećam se toga kao da je bilo juče -

he was a great guy, but he said to me,

bio je sjajan čovek, ali rekao mi je,

"Kid, go to school, or go open a falafel stand.

"Mali, idi u školu ili otvori falafel štand.

We're not really interested in these kinds of new adventures.

Nismo zainteresovani za ovakve vrste novih avantura.

We're not interested in your help." And he threw me out of the room.

Nismo zainteresovani za tvoju pomoć." I izbacio me je iz sobe.

"I don't need your help," he said.

"Ne treba mi tvoja pomoć", rekao je.

I was a very stubborn kid.

Bio sam veoma tvrdoglavo dete.

As you see now, I'm walking around like crazy, meshugenah.

Kao što sada vidite, hodam kao ludak okolo.

(Laughter) (Applause)

(Smeh) (Aplauz)

So I decided to use the Israeli very famous technique

Stoga sam odlučio da koristim veoma poznatu izraelsku tehniku

you've probably all heard of, chutzpah. (Laughter)

za koju ste verovatno svi čuli - hrabrost. (Smeh)

And the next day, I went and I bought two police scanners,

Sledećeg dana, otišao sam i kupio dva policijska prijemnika

and I said, "The hell with you, if you don't want

i rekao: "Baš me briga za vas. Ako ne želite

to give me information, I'll get the information myself."

da mi date informaciju, sam ću je pronaći."

And we did turns, who's going to listen to the radio scanners.

I na smenu smo slušali radio prijemnike.

The next day, while I was listening to the scanners,

Sutradan, dok sam slušao,

I heard about a call coming in of a 70-year-old man

čuo sam poziv 70-godišnjeg čoveka

hurt by a car only one block away from me

koji je bio povređen od udara auta samo jedan blok dalje od mene

on the main street of my neighborhood.

u glavnoj ulici u mom komšiluku.

I ran there by foot. I had no medical equipment.

Otrčao sam tamo pešice. Nisam imao medicinsku opremu.

When I got there, the 70-year-old man

Kada sam stigao, 70-dišnji čovek

was lying on the floor, blood was gushing out of his neck.

je ležao na podu, krv je liptala iz njegovog vrata.

He was on Coumadin.

Bio je na Kumadinu.

I knew I had to stop his bleeding or else he would die.

Znao sam da sam morao da zaustavim njegovo krvarenje ili bi u suprotnom umro.

I took off my yarmulke, because I had no medical equipment,

Skinuo sam svoju jarmulku, jer nisam imao medicinsku opremu

and with a lot of pressure, I stopped his bleeding.

i sa velikim pritiskom zaustavio sam mu krvarenje.

He was bleeding from his neck.

Krvario je iz vrata.

When the ambulance arrived 15 minutes later,

Kada je hitna pomoć stigla nakon 15 minuta,

I gave them over a patient who was alive.

predao sam im pacijenta koji je bio živ.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

When I went to visit him two days later,

Kada sam otišao da ga posetim 2 dana kasnije,

he gave me a hug and was crying

zagrlio me je, plakao

and thanking me for saving his life.

i zahvaljivao mi je što sam mu spasio život.

At that moment, when I realized this is the first person

U tom trenutku, kada sam shvatio da je to bila prva osoba

I ever saved in my life after two years volunteering in an ambulance,

kojoj sam spasio život nakon 2 godine volontiranja u hitnoj pomoći,

znao sam da je to moja životna misija.

I knew this is my life's mission.

So today, 22 years later, we have United Hatzalah.

Stoga danas, 22 godine kasnije, imamo Ujedinjeni Hacalah.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

"Hatzalah" means "rescue," for all of you who don't know Hebrew.

"Hacalah" znači "spašavanje", za sve vas koji ne znate hebrejski jezik.

I forgot I'm not in Israel.

Zaboravio sam da nisam u Izraelu.

So we have thousands of volunteers

Imamo hiljade volontera

who are passionate about saving lives,

koji su veoma predani u spašavanju života,

and they're spread all around, so whenever a call comes in,

i rašireni su svuda, te kadgod primimo poziv,

oni zaustave sve i otrče da spasu živote.

they just stop everything and go and run and save a life.

Our average response time today

Naše prosečno vreme reagovanja,

went down to less than three minutes in Israel.

smanjilo se na manje od 3 minuta u Izraelu.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

I'm talking about heart attacks,

Govorim o srčanim udarima,

I'm talking about car accidents,

o automobilskim nesrećama,

God forbid bomb attacks, shootings, whatever it is,

ne daj bože, bombaškim napadima, pucnjavama, šta god da je,

even a woman 3 o'clock in the morning

čak i da žena u 3 ujutru

falling in her home and needs someone to help her.

padne u svom domu i zatraži nekoga da joj pomogne.

Three minutes, we'll have a guy with his pajamas

Tri minuta i naš momak u pidžami

running to her house and helping her get up.

trči ka njenoj kući i pomaže joj da ustane.

The reasons why we're so successful are because of three things.

Ima tri razloga zbog kojih smo toliko uspešni.

Thousands of passionate volunteers

Hiljade strastvenih volontera

who will leave everything they do

koji će napustiti sve što rade

and run to help people they don't even know.

i otrčati da spasu ljude koje čak ni ne poznaju.

We're not there to replace ambulances.

Mi nismo tu da zamenimo hitnu pomoć.

We're just there

Tu smo

to get the gap between the ambulance call until they arrive.

da smanjimo vremenski prostor između poziva hitne pomoći i njihovog dolaska.

And we save people that otherwise would not be saved.

Mi spašavamo ljude koji u suprotnom ne bi bili spašeni.

The second reason is because of our technology.

Drugi razlog je naša tehnologija.

You know, Israelis are good in technology.

Izraelci su dobri u sferi tehnologije.

Every one of us has on his phone, no matter what kind of phone,

Svako od nas, na svom telefonu, bez obzira koje vrste,

a GPS technology done by NowForce,

ima GPS tehnologiju koju je napravio "Naufors" (NowForce),

and whenever a call comes in,

i kadgod nam stigne poziv,

the closest five volunteers get the call,

najbližih 5 volontera prime poziv,

and they actually get there really quick,

i zapravo stignu veoma brzo,

and navigated by a traffic navigator to get there and not waste time.

vođeni saobraćajnim navigatorom kako bi stigli bez gubljenja vremena.

And this is a great technology we use all over the country

Ovo je odlična tehnologija koju koristimo širom države

and reduce the response time.

i smanjujemo vreme reagovanja.

And the third thing are these ambucycles.

I treća stvar su ovi ambucikli.

These ambucycles are an ambulance on two wheels.

Oni su hitna pomoć na dva točka.

We don't transfer people, but we stabilize them,

Mi ne prevozimo ljude, već ih stabilizujemo

and we save their lives.

i spašavamo im živote.

They never get stuck in traffic. They could even go on a sidewalk.

Nikada se ne zaglave u saobraćajnoj gužvi. Mogu da idu i po trotoaru.

Doslovno nikada se ne zaglavjuju u saobraćaju.

They never, literally, get stuck in traffic.

That's why we get there so fast.

Zato stižemo tamo tako brzo.

A few years after I started this organization,

Nekoliko godina nakon što sam osnovao ovu organizaciju

in a Jewish community,

u jevrejskoj zajednici,

two Muslims from east Jerusalem called me up.

dva muslimana iz istočnog Jerusalima su me pozvala.

They ask me to meet. They wanted to meet with me.

Želeli su da se nađu sa mnom.

Muhammad Asli and Murad Alyan.

Muhamed Asli i Murad Aljan.

When Muhammad told me his personal story,

Kada mi je Muhamed ispričao svoju životnu priču,

how his father, 55 years old, collapsed at home,

kako je njegov 55-godišnji otac kolabirao kod kuće,

had a cardiac arrest,

imao je srčani udar,

and it took over an hour for an ambulance arrive,

gde je trebalo oko sat vremena hitnoj pomoći da stigne,

and he saw his father die in front of his eyes,

video je svog oca kako umire pred njegovim očima,

rekao mi je: "Molim te, počni to u istočnom Jerusalimu."

he asked me, "Please start this in east Jerusalem."

I said to myself, I saw so much tragedy, so much hate,

Rekao sam sebi, video sam toliko tragedija, toliko mržnje

and it's not about saving Jews. It's not about saving Muslims.

i ovde se ne radi o spašavanju jevreja ili muslimana.

It's not about saving Christians. It's about saving people.

Niti se radi o hrišćanima. Radi se o ljudima.

So I went ahead, full force --

Ja sam to i učinio, iz sve snage.

(Applause) —

(Aplauz)

and I started United Hatzalah in east Jerusalem,

Osnovao sam Ujedinjeni Hacalah u istočnom Jerusalimu

and that's why the names United

i zato se ime Ujedinjeni

and Hatzalah match so well.

i Hacalah toliko dobro uklapaju.

We started hand in hand saving Jews and Arabs.

Počeli smo ruku pod ruku da spašavamo jevreje i Arape.

Arabs were saving Jews. Jews were saving Arabs.

Arapi su spašavali jevreje. jevreji su spašavali Arape.

Something special happened.

Nešto posebno se dogodilo.

Arabs and Jews, they don't always get along together,

Arapi i jevreji se ne slažu uvek,

but here in this situation,

ali u ovoj situaciji,

the communities, literally,

zajednice, doslovno,

it's an unbelievable situation that happened,

neverovatna situacija se desila,

the diversities, all of a sudden they had a common interest:

različitosti, odjednom smo imali zajednički interes:

Let's save lives together.

hajde da spašavamo živote zajedno.

Settlers were saving Arabs and Arabs were saving settlers.

Doseljenici su spašavali Arape, a Arapi spašavali doseljenike.

It's an unbelievable concept that could work

To je neverovatan koncept koji može da funkcioniše

samo ako imate tako dobar razlog.

only when you have such a great cause.

And these are all volunteers.

A to su sve volonteri.

No one is getting money.

Niko ne dobija novac.

They're all doing it for the purpose of saving lives.

Svi to rade samo u svrhu spašavanja života.

When my own father collapsed a few years ago

Kada mi je otac kolabirao pre nekoliko godina

from a cardiac arrest, one of the first volunteers

od srčanog zastoja, jedan od prvih volontera

to arrive to save my father

koji je došao da spase mog oca

was one of these Muslim volunteers from east Jerusalem

bio je jedan od tih muslimanskih volontera iz istočnog Jerusalima,

who was in the first course to join Hatzalah.

koji je bio na prvom kursu za pristup Hacalahu.

And he saved my father.

I spasao je mog oca.

Could you imagine how I felt in that moment?

Možete li da zamislite kako sam se osećao u tom trenutku?

When I started this organization, I was 17 years old.

Kada sam osnovao ovu organizaciju, imao sam 17 godina.

I never imagined that one day I'd be speaking at TEDMED.

Nikada nisam zamišljao da ću jednog dana držati govor na TEDMED-u.

I never even knew what TEDMED was then.

Nisam čak tada ni znao šta je TEDMED.

I don't think it existed, but I never imagined,

Ne mislim da je postojao, ali nikad nisam zamišljao

I never imagined that it's going to go all around,

da će to ići svuda,

da će se širiti svuda,

it's going to spread around,

i ove godine počeli smo rad u Panami i Brazilu.

and this last year we started in Panama and Brazil.

All I need is a partner who is a little meshugenah like me,

Sve što mi treba je partner koji je malo lud kao ja,

passionate about saving lives, and willing to do it.

strastven u spašavanju života i voljan da to radi.

And I'm actually starting it in India very soon

Zapravo počinjem u Indiji veoma uskoro

with a friend who I met in Harvard just a while back.

sa prijateljem kojeg sam upoznao na Harvardu kad sam studirao.

Hatzalah actually started in Brooklyn by a Hasidic Jew

Hacalah je zapravo u Bruklinu osnovao hasidički jevrej,

years before us in Williamsburg,

godinama pre nas u Viliamzburgu,

and now it's all over the Jewish community in New York,

i sad se raširilo u jevrejskoj zajednici u Njujorku,

even Australia and Mexico and many other Jewish communities.

čak i Australiji i Meksiku i mnogim drugim jevrejskim zajednicama.

But it could spread everywhere.

Ali moglo bi da se proširi bilo gde.

It's very easy to adopt.

Veoma ga je lako prilagoditi.

You even saw these volunteers in New York

Čak ste videli ove volontere u Njujorku

saving lives in the World Trade Center.

kako spašavaju živote u Svetskom trgovinskom centru.

Last year alone, we treated in Israel 207,000 people.

Samo prošle godine, zbrinuli smo 207 000 ljudi u Izraelu.

Forty-two thousand of them were life-threatening situations.

42 000 njih je bilo u životnoj opasnosti.

And we made a difference.

I mi smo napravili razliku.

I guess you could call this a lifesaving flash mob,

Pretpostavljam da biste ovo mogli nazvati spašavajući fleš mob

and it works.

koji funkcioniše.

When I look all around here,

Kada pogledam unaokolo ovde

I see lots of people who would go an extra mile,

vidim mnogo ljudi koji bi išli dalje,

run an extra mile to save other people,

trčali dalje da spasu druge živote,

no matter who they are, no matter what religion,

bez obzira ko su, bez obzira koje vere,

no matter who, where they come from.

bez obzira ko su i odakle dolaze.

We all want to be heroes.

Svi mi želimo da budemo heroji.

We just need a good idea, motivation

Treba nam samo dobra ideja, motivacija

and lots of chutzpah,

i mnogo hrabrosti

and we could save millions of people

i mogli bismo da spasimo milione ljudi

that otherwise would not be saved.

koji u suprotnom ne bi bili spašeni.

Thank you very much.

Hvala vam mnogo.

(Applause)
