A local emergency room physician will be featured in a new episode of “Untold Stories of the ER” Sunday.
    Dr. Ruthie Crider, an emergency medicine physician at East Georgia Regional Medical Center, will be part of the show, which airs at 9 p.m. Sunday on the Discovery Fit & Health cable network. The episode will repeat at 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, on TLC.
    The description of the episode is: “Dr. Ruthie Crider has her hands full when two young female patients are admitted into the ER at the same time, both experiencing seizures. The causes of seizures as it turns out though are drastically different.”
    The Discovery Fit & Health’s press website describes the series as follows: “‘Untold Stories of the ER’ features the dramatic stories of real-life trips to the emergency room, as told by both patients and doctors. Unusual, touching, humorous or life-changing – no story is too big or too small. We then, with full medical accuracy, re-enact the events. ‘Untold Stories of the ER’ is a testament to medical heroes – and something that everyone involved in the show can be proud of.”
