Speaker:Dr Michael Harari
(Senior Paediatrician, Ziv Hospital, Tzfat; Senior Lecturer, Bar Ilan University Medical School; and Senior Lecturer, University of Melbourne).
Michael trained in Melbourne, spent time in Papua New Guinea – preparing him for a wide range of paediatric challenges, and taught him how to manage so much with so little based on sound basic clinical grounding – and also worked in the even more primitive setting of Addenbrookes, Cambridge UK in the late 1980s
He was joint head of an inpatient General Medical Unit at the Royal Children’s Hospital, in Melbourne for many years. He trained in Paediatric Intensive Care, but his professional passion is dealing with child and adolescent incontinence.
He made Aliyah to Tzfat 10 years ago.
Now he does half time paediatrics, and is a qualified Israeli Tour Guide (which increasingly absorbs his time and interest). He devotes special attention to the role of the Australian Light Horse in Northern Israel in World War 1, and to Canaanite times (mainly at Tel Hazor) before Joshua’s conquest. He has a small goat farm, with chickens and a large vegetable patch. He makes goat cheese for domestic and neighbourhood consumption.
He was paediatrician in charge of receiving Syrian children in the recent civil war, and ran the day clinic for non-wounded Syrian children, dealing with~25 children fortnightly for over two years.
He was the on-call paediatrician in the Emergency and Paediatrics Depts on the night of the tragic events at Har Meiron.
