Mike and Ritu welcome Ron Roth, MD, FACEP. Fun fact...he was Ritus attending while he was in his residency at Pitt! (did we say Ritu knows everyone?)
Dr. Roth is an integral part of the Pittsburgh sports scene in his role as team physician for the National Football League’s Pittsburgh Steelers.
Over more than two decades with the team, Dr. Roth has seen it all. He could be assessing neck or head injuries, or various fractures. On other days he may be called to treat a collapsed lung or manage an athlete with hyperthermia. He also steers the organization’s emergency action planning and oversees the rapid response for anyone who experiences a medical emergency at the stadium, practice facility, or training camp.
