ALTON Brian Fogarty and Ruth Kvistad of the Alton Memorial Hospital EMS team are both heading to medical school later this year.
Kvistad said she hadn’t planned on more school. An EMT with Alton Memorial Hospital’s EMS team since November 2020, she has even loftier goals. Neither of her parents had college degrees, and her high school wasn’t pushing students to apply.
Then, during her senior year, Kvistad was cleaning out fryers as part of a fundraiser for a local organization. One of her co-volunteers accidentally opened the valve at the bottom of a fryer and a mixture of boiling water, soap and remnant oil gushed onto Kvistad’s foot badly burning her.

Chelsea Merta of St. Louis contracted the coronavirus months ago and still deals with fatigue almost daily.
When Christine Ruder became sick with the coronavirus last fall, the Rolla elementary school teacher experienced a “bingo card of coronavirus symptoms.” She had fever, hives and stomach problems.
After a while those symptoms went away, but they were replaced with new ones, like difficulty finding words.
“I couldn’t think of common everyday objects,” she said. “I need to get that stuff out of the fridge. What do you call that stuff? It’s white? Oh, milk!”
Ruder is one of the many people who doctors say have “long COVID,” a group of symptoms that persists for weeks or months after a person has recovered from the initial infection.
