It's been a crazy 24 hours for colorful skies over #Pittsburgh, and this morning's sunrise was another stunner. I was able to stop at three different spots, as the color lasted so long, but the view from the Mr. Rogers statue is my favorite. An amazing morning for sure.

The best stories teach us something while entertaining us. This The Atavist Magazine story by Kevin Hazzard should be worked into high school history classes. I had no idea how recent the EMT profession came into being and who was behind it. Or that I cared. magazine.atavist.com/the-first-resp…

A lot of people don’t know that the first EMS service in the country was started by Black Pittsburghers, when local police and fire refused to serve them. On the last day of Black History Month, I spoke on the House Floor to honor their contributions to medicine.

Chief Moon’s leadership in Pittsburgh set the modern standard for emergency medicine nationwide. From being the first person in the country to perform a trachial intubation to pioneering use of nalaxone to treat overdoses, his brilliance & perseverance has saved countless lives.

Don't know how I missed American Sirens by Kevin Hazzard from Hachette Books when it first came out. A 60s 70s Pittsburgh area kid, I never knew of Freedom House, the first EMS/Paramedic unit in the country. All black men. An amazing story. #books #BookReviews #Paramedic
