Don Freeman MD, ABEM, is the elder statesman of the GEDS core group. Originally Canadian, he has worked at the Gainesville ED since 1982. He lives in Atlanta with his wife Susan and has 2 children: a daughter in college in Vancouver, and a son attending boarding school in Tennessee. Interests include biking, hiking, travelling, photography and cooking.
Though approaching retirement age and slowing down his work schedule a bit, he still enjoys Emergency Medicine-especially its unpredictability, occasional excitement, and the ability to interact with and be inspired by the dedicated nursing and other ED staff who are truly committed to helping others.
