""We have a happy event to prepare for - Baruch's wedding in less than two months, and I know that the treatment here at Hadassah is the basis for his full recovery.".
The head of the trauma unit at Hadassah Ein Kerem, Dr. Miklos Bala, summarized Baruch's treatment: "Baruch's neck injury combined vascular damage with bone, vertebral and nerve damage, in addition to a hand injury that could have affected him in the long term.
