Treatment of doctor was outrageous

As a patient of Dr. Moshe Zamir, I am outraged at the events that occurred last month. Outraged because a wonderful doctor was handcuffed because he was attending to his patient who drove a golf cart down a ravine outside his office.

Who would jump down 10 feet to attend to a man who was trapped by his golf cart? No one, except Dr. Zamir. He removed a tree limb so that he could free his head from the wheel of the golf cart. A call was made to 911 by his nurse who said she was calling from a doctor's office and a golf cart fell into a ravine.

Did the paramedics arrive right away? No, the son of the patient had to go over to the fire station to tell them about the situation. Dr. Zamir was trained in emergency medicine and worked as an emergency room physician before going into private practice. Yet, the Huntley police tried to keep him from attending to his patient. They handcuffed him, his wrists were bleeding, and shoved him into a police car.

This was an outrage. Any patient of Dr. Zamir will attest to the fact that he is one of the finest physicians, whose main goal is to help his patients.
