Physicians brought ER expertise to scene of deadly tour bus crash on Thruway

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — First responders across Western New York rushed to the deadly tour bus crash last week in Pembroke, including the ‘Physician Response Team.’

Dr. Joseph Bart is an attending physician at ECMC’s emergency department. He also works as director of EMS operations for UB MD Emergency Medicine. Bart is the chief medical officer for the Buffalo Fire Department.

“There’s a different sound that the phone makes when you get one of these types of pages,” said Dr. Bart. “It’s critical, it’s a critical alert and we get them frequently enough where you want to look at them and say, ‘okay, what is this?’ I immediately recognize this is something different.”
