A fear that many of us have held since watching “The Lion King” in the 90s, stampedes have typically not taken the forefront of studied manmade disasters. However, stampedes cannot be ignored

When there's a large earthquake, humanity is quick to rush to the aid of the victims. However, the resources and staff that are often sent are oriented around Search and Rescue efforts. A shift in the composition of resources and staff is needed.

@WADEM_PDM A UMass research project on hockey puck strikes

[WADEM @WADEM_PDM]

Wayward flying #pucks are the chief spectator hazard at #hockey games. Most injuries are minor & only occur 1% of the time, but when they do occur, these fans tend to need transport to the hospital - https://t.co/ytu8gTaPMH. @DisasterUmass #massgatheringmedicine #EMS

Here's the foul ball paper I worked on!

Foul balls regularly fly into baseball stadiums. That’s why fans bring gloves to a game! In a new research report in PDM, the kind of injuries and how often they occur at baseball games are examined - https://t.co/PdZoxUURAe. #MLB #MassGatheringMedicine #FoulBalls @DisasterUmass

Google search: "I should have gotten the vaccine"
552,000,000 results

Google search: "I am glad I didn't get vaccinated"
304,000,000 results

A very unscientific method of measuring how important it is to get vaccinated.

What a day for @CurlyDocDO with @WorcEMS! One of the fellowship requirements is to do a ride along with the paramedics on the ambulance. Thank you for the hospitality and for all of your expert insight. Team work makes healthcare possible! #disastermed #wems #polosandcargos

As part of our curriculum, we think critically about the application of Disaster Medicine literature. For our intro unit, a timely article about how adverse conditions and natural disasters can affect social cohesion. #DisasterMed #LitReview #FOAMed
