One Response to “Rescue Team Doctor at the Surfside Condo Collapse Shares Experience”
October 27, 2021
Laurie BryantI had the privilege to work alongside Dr. Ben Abo (Medical team Manager for FTF-1) at the Surfside Collapse while I served as Medical Team Manager for FTF-5. A truly representative article…in its most raw form. This is why i pursued emergency medicine, and working alongside leaders such as Ben make me a better physician.
