Author and Disclosure Information

On Tuesday, January 19, 2010, Dr. Keyhan (Kay) Farian died at the age of 80, after being struck by an SUV in front of her home in Nyack, New York. Her name may not be familiar to the majority of EM readers, but for 40 years Dr. Farian was more important to the people of the South Bronx, New York, than the nine presidents of the United States who served during that time. Kay was important to our specialty of emergency medicine as well.
