Dr. Walsh is an adjunct clinical associate professor of internal and emergency medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine South Bend at the Notre Dame campus and works at the Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center in Mishawaka, Indiana as well as at the Memorial Hospital Trauma Center in South Bend, Indiana. Dr. Walsh’s mother was a wealthy and aristocratic graduate of the Florence, Italy, Cherubini Conservatory of Music in piano during WWII. She was a war heroine who kept the family business alive in downtown Florence six doors from the Duomo. Fed up with the war and her domineering family, she ran away with an ex Notre Dame football player and sailor to whom she was giving piano lessons. Hence, Dr. Walsh was “Made in Italy.” He received a track scholarship to the University of Notre Dame and attended Medical School first in Florence then transferred to Bologna. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Northwestern University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois. He is board-certified in internal and emergency medicine. His clinical and research interests concern trauma and shock induced coagulopathy with emphasis on platelet dysfunction. The COVID-19 pandemic allowed Dr. Walsh the opportunity to apply his experience in diagnosing and treating trauma induced coagulopathy to COVID associated coagulopathy which he has described in print as “upside down trauma induced coagulopathy” where these patients arrive in hypercoagulable states and after 7 to 10 days, as the cytokines storm wanes, they become hypocoagulable which is the opposite of trauma induced coagulopathy. Dr. Walsh has provided anesthesia in Haiti and Lebanon and has publications describing his anesthesia experiences. As an emergency physician and internist, Dr. Walsh feels that it is his duty to serve as the surgeons’ wingman. As a result, he rarely calls them unless absolutely necessary.
