@BenZabar@BMorshediMD Also, as the medical director, I can pick and choose my calls. I typically only add onto high acuity calls. Not stealing calls or procedures, just working with my medics on critical patients.

@BenZabar@BMorshediMD As the person who made this quote, I believe that some time in the ED is essentially early in your career. After that, spending the majority of your time caring for non specific chest pain, weak and dizzy, etc, etc is not ‘keeping up your skills.’
The Riverside 9/11 Stair Climb was a great success! Despite the rain, Tripp and Connor had almost 50 climbers and raised over $5000 for the AVFRD. Most of the participants had not even been born in 2001 yet they all climbed to honor the fallen from 9/11 and to remember!
I just found out the person killed in the Laguna Woods shooting yesterday was my primary care physician, Dr. John Cheng. Absolute hero. He attacked the gunman and helped save so many in that church. I just wanted his name to be known. He will be missed.
ACFD utilizes whole blood administration during severe trauma and medical emergencies to improve patient outcomes. ACFD’s Medical Director, Dr. Reed Smith donates his blood to ensure area blood banks have adequate supply. To date, we have given blood in the field over 15 times.
The Arlington County Fire Department extends our sincere condolences to our partners at @PFPAOfficial as they mourn the tragic loss of one of their officers. Our thoughts are with them and the officer’s family during this difficult time.
It’s that time again! We need donations now more than ever!
The EMS field blood program relies on whole blood donation to continue! Please donate and request specifically to be a whole blood donor!!
