Rabbi Aharon Yehuda Immergreen, the 26-year-old kollel abbot, who was seriously injured in the shooting attack near the Western Wall a month ago, was released today (Sunday) from Shaare Tzedek Medical Center. Aharon, married for about a year and without children, was injured while making his way to the kollel where he studies in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem. Immergreen arrived at Shaare Tzedek unconscious and suffering from gunshot wounds throughout his body. He underwent immediate evaluation and treatment in the trauma room and was transferred to emergency surgery in the operating room. After his condition stabilized, he was hospitalized in the intensive care unit and during his hospitalization underwent another series of life-saving surgeries, at the end of which he gradually regained consciousness. Today, a month after the incident, he was released for rehabilitation at Tel Hashomer. Trauma Unit Director Dr. Alon Schwartz: "We received Aharon hanging between life and death. Now, as he is being released from Shaarei Tzedek after such a complex injury, we are very pleased with his progress and he has a long task ahead of him of rehabilitation and return to life." [Gallery]
