Sad news indeed.  Dr. Rothenberg was a gifted, enthusiastic, and highly
enjoyable teacher.  I was privileged to be one of his early AMLS students.
It was probably the single richest learning experience of my long career.

His loss is deeply felt.

Popular EMS author & lecturer Mikel Rothenberg dies

By JEMS.com Staff

It is with deep regret that JEMS announces the sudden death of Mikel 
Rothenberg, MD, 52, a long-time JEMS Editorial Board Member, EMS 
educator and noted EMS advocate. Rothenberg died on April 26 at his home 
in North Olmstead, Ohio.

Mikel was a popular presenter at EMS Today, where he could be seen in 
his flashy Hawaiian shirts and providing educational, entertaining and 
provocative classes. He authored and coauthored several texts, including 
the original Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS), Why-Driven EMS 
Enrichment, Understanding X-Rays: A Plain English Approach, Emergency 
Department Standards of Care, A Lawyer's Guide and numerous articles and 
computer training programs.

In addition to Mikel's talent as an educator, he was also known as an 
EMS advocate, especially in building collegial relationships with 
physicians, EMS professionals, nurses and other health-care providers. 
He always  treated everyone as a necessary component of the team. He 
committed his professional life to improving EMS education for all.

Mikel is survived by his wife Diane, two adult children, a sister and 
many family members, friends and colleagues. A funeral service is 
planned for Tuesday, May 2, 2006, at 4 p.m. at the Unity Spiritual 
Center, 23855 Detroit Road, Westlake, Ohio. The staff of JEMS sends its 
heartfelt condolences to the Rothenberg family.
