Galen Pizzorno

Hometown: Seattle, WA

 

When you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.  Galen stays ready. Whether it’s his preparation for a shift, perpetual snack supply or just general willingness to bust-his-tail, the guy is always willing to step up. Aside from all that, Galen is the kind of person who just loves being in the emergency department and it makes us all want to be better because of his passion. We’re grateful to have him on our team and just one of the reasons he’s our current RIP City Resident.


You're known for snacks, what do you look for in a potato chip?
That it's organic. Clearly healthier. (Clearly 🙄)


Would you rather run a code or put in a chest tube?
Why can't we have both?

If someone asked you to burn a CD for a road trip, what would be the first three tracks?
Probably something from Tove Lo, then sports radio/medical podcasts.

What do you make sure to have for each shift in the ED?
Only what I can carry, aside from a bag of snacks in the locker room.
