They require married for maturity and for female related calls....
Yes some married men are immature too.....
There are plenty of mature single men, and if they don't want them taking female related calls they can make that rule.
No reason to ban them from helping their elderly male neighbor who is in cardiac arrest.

Also if a man is in his 30s or 40s and is unfortunately still single you should hold that against them?

Lol, but that is very true!

   Being that your responding to a an emergency does that not allow for a single guy to help out? Or is that really a major issue and they'll only allow it with married men?
   Or I guess that explains Ezra's Nashim..

Are there doctors who are not married? Just curious. If yes then i see no reason why single men who are in fact mature enough to be able to join and respond to calls if needed.
   And on another note, most calls meantion who is involved in the call, whether a male or female so no excuse. Like you said when the opposite gender is needing help you don't respond and for same gender calls you can be there and help out.

Catching up.

I'll be very blunt. I did not donate to Hatzolah.

While the rank and file are one of the best people in society, the people on top stink.

I know many great EMTs who offered crazy amounts of money to get in and were denied. Just because the people on top want to hold a power grip.

Why should I give them money when they have where to take it from but simply refuse for political reasons?

Same goes for Ezras Nashim.. Why spend so much time and effort to stop them.

Unfortunately the leadership stinks to high heaven.

Sorry for being the one to take off the soft gloves.

Being a doctor and working in the world doesn't compare to volunteering with a Jewish org with Jewish values. I've heard the arguments for both sides and I was a single medic at one point also. It's also been proven, in some neighborhoods, that they are willing to wave it for members kids.

@Shmulie Why don't you try joining as a service member. Eventually they will let you respond to the bus to transport and maybe even go on a call or 2.

Unfortunately, more times than I'd like to admit. Usually when moving to another part of the neighborhood or when day hours opened up.

I actually did get a call once and was told to schedule a meeting. After 8 months of running after them I decided a little self respect I had to have and I stopped trying.
Ouch. Sadly this is typical...

Oh man if that happened to me and I was told to setup a meeting and then wasn't abel to I would be so upset.

I was just never answered and when I followed up multiple times someone in the office finally had the heart to basically tell me it wasn't happening since I wasn't married.
Which neighborhood if you don't mind me asking? So ridiculous that they finally told you no single guys after many times asking.

I'm definitely jaded by it but I don't believe in public bashing. Put the crap aside the mission is good and important.

Edit: as a matter of fact I have told almost nobody about this and it's the first time I posted "publicly" about it. I guess I feel some level of anonymity here.
Yes public bashing usually doesn't accomplish much, however I'm not sure what can fix their broken heirachy system. I wish someone was able to. In lakewood the rabbonim a few years back threw out a bunch of people in charge to clear house supposedly.

So what really what it comes down to with these organizations is how many people they have, and if they have a lot of willing members then they"ll start narrowing it down to their ideal criteria. So if they can have what they want, they"ll narrow it down... Married, 25 etc...

Now for chaeverim they really should take more single guys in my opinion - issue is many area they consider themselves some sort of police force and are kinda losing sight of their bread and butter. Lockouts, boosts and helping people who ran out of fuel are nearly as exciting as running after a burglar with lights and sirens or other police like activities.

Power corrupts, it's that simple and has held true forever.  And one thing to add to your post - how many neighborhoods have EMT's that are certified as medics, but the leadership won't let them practice as medics rather going to the 911 system for medics. So sad.

it's not only in Flatbush there are alot of criteria and if it's really about saving lives and not something political it would look different. I'm not saying they are bad IMHO the members going on calls are great.
And before someone says I'm saying this because I'm not in Hatzolah, I never applied, at this point in my life I don't want to join.

IINM one can work in jersey with a NY license, I have a friend that works for a hospital in jersey that does that.. Though i think he said something about only his partner being able to give meds.
