EXPERT
Dr. Marco Coppola, D.O.
Emergency Physician
I've served in almost every type of emergency medicine practice model: military (including hospital, operational, and detainee medicine), civilian, academic, non- academic, contract management, democratic partnership, big group, small group, urgent care, and now in the free-standing emergency medicine and micro-hospital arena.
I've also had a myriad of military and civilian leadership experiences. I am the former Commanding General of 2nd Brigade and the Texas Medical Brigade of the Texas State Guard. I’ve been a research director (twice), a residency program director (thrice), a vice chair of a private hospital emergency department and twice in 2 academic emergency departments, an interim chair of an academic emergency department, chair of a private hospital emergency department, academic chair, and Chief Medical Officer (on occasions too numerous to count). I've also served in professional societies on committees, as committee chair (multiple times), chapter president (twice), and Speaker of a 350-member council.
I've seen the good and the bad, but all those experiences make me ultimately qualified to lead in any situation.

Most importantly, the Emergency Physician will assess the patient suffering from an allergic reaction for any life-threatening signs and symptoms. The most severe of allergic reactions is anaphylaxis which can cause the patient=E2=80=99s throat and tongue to swell which can obstruct the airway. Once the threat of anaphylaxis is addressed, patient=E2=80=99s are then given a variety of medications to treat the rash and itch including epinephrine, steroids, histamine receptor blockers, and intravenous fluids. =20 Thanks!
