Evaluation of Dispositions During a Marathon Raymond Jabola, DO; Haley Durdella, DO; Dylan Henry; Benjamin Boswell, DO; Jason Zeller, MD; Frank Forde, MD; Jeffrey Luk, MD
First author Raymond Jabola, DO, is an emergency medicine (EM) graduate of Case Western Reserve/ University Hospitals Raymond Jabola and currently works as an emergency physician in Denver, Colorado. He was a resident when he worked on this project. Author Conclusion: This study showed that the vast majority of race participants presenting to a medical station will be treated with no transport. However, medical staff should be
prepared for some participants refusing recommended transport, and medical procedures should detail procedures for such a disposition. While few participants are transported to hospitals, it should nevertheless be anticipated, and appropriate coordination with transport agencies as well as hospitals is imperative to ensure proper care of these patients. Most rewarding aspect of my work on this project: I am grateful to have had the opportunity to mesh my interests in both EMS and sports medicine into a project that can help others planning to work medically at mass sporting events
