Dr. Paul Nemiroff, former KDKA medical reporter, dies at age 73
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- We have some sad news to pass along about a member of the KDKA family.
Former KDKA medical reporter, Dr. Paul Nemiroff, has died.
Dr. Paul came to KDKA in 2002, following a stint at our sister station, KCBS, in Los Angeles.
While covering the many medical stories of Pittsburgh, he met and married longtime KDKA anchor Patrice King Brown.
Dr. Paul left KDKA in 2009, shortly before Patrice's retirement.
But his broadcasting career is just a fraction of his tremendous talent.
Dr. Paul first received a PhD in psychology, and later went back to school to become an MD. His work in both health fields was known across the country and around the world.
As a head and neck surgeon, Dr. Paul performed some 10,000 surgeries during his career.
He was once considered for the position of U.S. Surgeon General.
Dr. Paul died last Wednesday at the age of 73.
All of us here at KDKA, send our love and sympathy to Patrice and Dr. Paul's family.
