From Washington DC to Caboolture<\/h1>\n
\"Caboolture

Caboolture Emergency Department Senior Medical Officer Dr Doug Feinbloom.<\/p><\/div>\n

From Washington DC to Caboolture ED, Consultant Dr Doug Feinbloom has had quite the career that led him to our shores.<\/h4>\n

Doug started out as a SWAT paramedic, providing care to injured officers, victims or suspects within the ‘hot zone’. He assisted in many infamous events such as the 2001 9\/11 Pentagon attack, 2002 DC sniper and 2002 Amtrak accident just to name a few.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re dual trained, meaning we are trained in Fire and EMS. I carried a weapon, so I was able to defend my position as well as deliver care,” Doug said.<\/p>\n

Doug initially studied Economics and Chemistry at a university in Upstate New York before entering the booming dotcom industry, when two companies he worked\u00a0for consecutively went belly up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was thinking what am I going to do? Then my mum saw an ad in our local paper to study medicine at a\u00a0university\u00a0here in Brisbane, so I thought, why not?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A wife, two kids, a house in South Brisbane, and consultancy at Caboolture Emergency Department later \u2013 Doug hasn\u2019t looked back!<\/p>\n<\/div>
