coastal fishing village, staff positions at several noted medical schools, and the Medical Director of the paramedic system of the City of Pittsburgh. Dr. Stewart was my first medical director when I work for the City of Pittsburgh. His work in medical research has been recognized in the United States through the creation of the Ronald D. Stewart Chair in Emergency Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh and in 2009 the American College of Emergency Physicians named him a Hero of Emergency Medicine.The Canadian Health Association honored him in 2013 as the recipient of their Distinguished Service Award for work in improving the health system in Canada, humanitarian service
abroad, and his part in the creation of a new medical specialty emergency medicine. He has received the James O. Page Award in the United States, recognizing lifetime achievement in Emergency Health Services in America and throughout the world. We talk about his amazing and astonishing journey and of course we talk his role in Emergency! I am humbled and lucky to have had the opportunity to record this podcast. I am not sure were EMS and Emergency Medicine would be without Dr. Stewart's contributions and wisdom.
I have such fond memories of the times we spent together. I am semi retired but still produce the ATLS training materials for the American College of Surgeons. That keeps mybhznd in the publishing world.
Ron, I still subscribe to JEMS so I saw that you were going to be interviewed si of course I had to listen. So glad that you are doing so well. I really enjoyed listening to all the interesting stories that you had to tell. Of course, I have a few that you didntvtevite here. One is the story of you taking lunch trays from the cafeteria and using it as as a sled. The other story is about you and I having tea with Peter Pons at s meeting in Kansas City. It was a remarkable time at the restaurant in the host hotel a short walk from the convention center.
