Idea of Care

I have a patch on my backpack that I carry to work that a friend gave me. It says, "Do no harm, Do know harm." I strive to treat the sickest of sick patients and those who are emergently injured by performing necessary techniques that are proven by evidence based medicine to effectively manage specific ailments. I pride myself on my proven life-saving skills and my ability to diagnose and manage comprehensive disorders.
