Many of you may be familiar with the name Findlay E. Russell, MD, PhD, an expert on snakebite in the United States. I âm saddened to inform you that Dr. Russell has passed away on August 21, 2011. Dr. Russell made important contributions in two specific areas. First, he advocated for the use of antivenom for rattlesnake bites and with John Sullivan, MD, performed research that ultimately led to a new antivenom-CroFab. Also important were his efforts to discourage the use of tourniquets and fasciotomy. Dr. Russell was fortunate to have a long career in which he contributed a great deal and we will miss his presence.
