Freddie and I had a tradition of having our picture taken at the start line of the marathon. I will really miss seeing him at the Marathon, at Pitt Games, and at Sports Med. The world is a better place because of Freddie and his legacy will live on.

Also, Dr. Ron Roth, medical director for the city, gave what I think is the best analogy yet on where we are in the pandemic: We’re on Green Tree Hill, stuck in traffic. We can see the tunnel but haven’t made it there yet. “Pretty soon we’ll be rewarded with that iconic view.”

This past Friday and Saturday, a handful of EMTs and Paramedics with Pittsburgh EMS volunteered their time to be on medical standby at COVID-19 vaccine distribution locations in Homewood and the Hill District.

Ringers Lactate is NOT dangerous in hyperkalemia. While switching back to LR with my EMS agencies, I had lingering concerns about the problem of 4meq K in that bag...but, NO MORE. Great EmCRIT article myth busts that truism
