Dr Hwang immediately jumped to action w a metabolic acidosis hyperkalemic patient in the ER. Thankful it wasnt confused for another issue. I believe it was Dr Hwangs fast acting that kept my loved one alive. Cannot give enough accolades for the experience this man displayed under pressure. He is a great Doctor and directed his team well. Highly recommend! Much gratitude to this man he probably doesn’t receive enough thank yous for his work. Amazing!
