On December 30, Assistant Professor Megan Cobb, MD, DPT, was interviewed by Baltimore’s ABC affiliate, WMAR 2, on the rapidly spreading flu strain.
Noting that the current strain is highly contagious and can cause fever spikes in children, Dr. Cobb referenced the increasing number of Maryland children who have visited the State’s emergency departments due to influenza-like viruses.
Associate Professor Gentry Wilkerson, MD, was quoted in a January 6 Baltimore Sun article on medotomindine, a new additive to fentanyl. Medotomindine is a veterinary sedative and painkiller that has recently been noted as an additive in fentanyl in the Philadelphia area.
The article notes how public health leaders—including Dr. Wilkerson and his Emergency Medicine colleagues at the University of Maryland School of Medicine—have expressed concerns that the additive may soon spike in Baltimore too.
