NY Daily News: It almost sounds like the old joke: Is there a doctor in the house?
But when a 22-year-old dancer collapsed at a recent performance, the answer was gravely serious.
Andrew Wollowitz, a director of emergency medicine at Montefiore Medical Center, was sitting in the audience and realized something was terribly wrong about 10 minutes into the piece.
“Stop the show!” the doctor recalled someone shouting at the Baryshnikov Arts Center. “Call 911!”
