Ramblings of an Emergency Physician in Texas

Tim Schickedanz Day

Posted by GruntDoc on October 31st, 2009

It’s October 31st, 2009, and it’s officially Tim Schickedanz Day in Saginaw, TX.  Well deserved, unfortunately it’s Posthumous. Tim S day

I was fortunate enough to know Tim for about eight years, as a nurse in our ED.  Hard working, friendly, funny and competent, we were nearly instant work-friends due to our military backgrounds.

We weren’t really close, and that’s my loss.  A really terrific guy, with a loving wife and four kids.

TimSAgain proving the ED cynicism, such a good person with a job and a loving family and a lot of friends died quickly when he fell ill.  He’s missed, by all of us.

There’s a Facebook page for him (Friends of Tim Schickedanz). 

Terrific people touch our lives daily, and you don’t notice until they’re gone.  I’ll try to do better.
