In 1977, Dr. Caroline immigrated to Israel to become medical director of Magen David Adom, the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross. “She liked to be where the action was,” said her brother. From 1982 to 1983, she worked with the Flying Doctors, providing medical care to the needy in East Africa. Upon her return to Israel, she got additional training in oncology and established the Hospice of Upper Galilee, a nonprofit that provides comprehensive palliative care. That was before she was diagnosed with cancer. The organization she founded would ultimately treat her in her final illness. aNancy Caroline's emergency care in the streets / |cseries editor: Andrew N. Pollak; lead editors Bob Elling, Mike Smith. Dr. Caroline was the author of “Emergency Care in the Streets,” a primer on prehospital care that has been an integral part of the training of thousands of emergency medical care technicians. First published in 1979, it is currently in its fifth printing. “Without Caroline’s work and support, EMS would not have evolved into the profession it has become,” said Dr. Bryan Bledsoe, author of “Paramedic Medical Care” and several other texts. She was a pioneer who went to bat for paramedics when paramedic wasn’t a household word,” A.J. Heightman, editor of the Journal of Emergency Medical Services, said yesterday. “She believed that prehospital care could be rendered efficiently by lay people, like firefighters and others who took on the task.” Her book is a model of concision and simplicity. “She managed to explain extremely complicated medical concepts in words and images that people can understand,” said Heightman.Nancy Lee Caroline was born on June 27, 1944, in Newton, Massachusetts, to Leo and Zelda Caroline. From a young age, Nancy had a strong social conscience and a strong sense of her identity as a Jew.

In 1966 she received a B.A. in linguistics from Radcliffe College and her M.D. from Case Western Reserve University in 1971. She stayed in Cleveland to complete her residencies, and then began a fellowship in critical care medicine at the University of Pittsburgh in 1973. Besides her brother, she leaves her husband, Dr. Lazarus Astrachan of Cleveland; and her mother, Zelda Caroline of Chestnut Hill. She was the most opinionated and obstinate person I ever met,” said her brother. “Unfortunately, she was always right.”

When she was working at the hospice, the area was getting shelled by the Palestinians every other day,” said her brother. “I told her, `Why don’t you come home and set up a medical practice where it’s safe.’” Dr. Caroline replied, “At least the streets are safe. I know I can go out for walk after midnight if I feel like it.” Each chapter of the Ninth Edition has been reviewed and enhanced.
