Jewish doctors and nurses at Allegheny General Hospital (AGH) in Pittsburgh put their personal feelings aside to help save the life of the evil man who  wanted to “kill all the Jews” as he opened fire at a synagogue, murdering 11 worshipers.

Robert Bowers, 46, was shot multiple times himself and taken to AGH.  In addition to killing eight men and three women, he wounded six other people, including four police officers, before surrendering Saturday.

Another nurse, whose father is a rabbi, “came in from a mass casualty drill and took care of this gentleman.”

Cohen was one of the first people on the scene–he lives in the neighborhood and heard gunfire from his house.

“I was standing there…and you could start hearing very quickly what was going on,” he said.

Cohen commends his doctors, nurses and staff for stepping up.

“We are here to take care of sick people. We’re not here to judge you. We’re not here to ask ‘Do you have insurance or do you not have insurance?’  We’re here to take care of people who need our help,” he said.

Cohen says he and Bowers had a brief conversation at the hospital.

“When I stopped in, I asked him how he was doing. Was he in pain? And he said, ‘No. He was fine,’” Cohen said.

Cohen says Bowers then asked him who he was.

“I said I’m Dr. Cohen, president of the hospital. Then I turned around and left,” he said. “The FBI agent who was guarding him said, ‘I don’t know if I could have done that.’ And I said, ‘If you were in my shoes, I’m sure you could.’”
