  • Research

    I chose emergency medicine in 1989 because I was (and still am) interested in everything to do with medicine. My research interest centers on the intersection of thrombosis and emergency care. But this is a very large intersection, which allows me a wide lattitude of study. The following are my areas of active interest:

    -Recognizing who has PE and who does not

    -Using empathy and facial affect to improve diagnostic hypothesis generation

    -Creating a rational approach to test for PE

    -Deciding which patients with PE and DVT can be treated at home, and implementing protocols to do this

    -Recognizing and treating acute pulmonary hypertension from PE

    -Understanding how cyclic guanosine monophosphate can treat acute PE and prevent progression of PE to CTED and CTEPH

    -Performing large clinical trials to learn whether or not fibrinolytics can provide a net benefit to patients with PE

    -Creation of controllable methods to  proteolyse fibrin
