In 1993, Dr. Crippen discovered the newly emerging Internet long before graphic interfaces, which at that time was limited to a few participants who understood the UNIX language. After gaining some experience with the Anesthesiology site GASNET, Dr. Crippen developed and implemented an International clinical and academic resource for critical care providers. The site is called CCM-L (Critical Care Medicine-List) and offers the following services for a group of over 1000 multinational participants: 1) A Cyber-Consult Service – critical care consultations in real time from experts around the world. Questions regarding ongoing patient care usually generate replies in hours if not minutes following presentation. 2) A CCM-L Journal Club – discussion of current critical care literature. 3) A CCM-L Forum – discussions of what is happening in the global medical sociopolitical arena. To date, there is no other Internet site in existence offering these same services to a multinational bevy of critical care providers, bioethicists and legal experts.

Currently, Dr. Crippen is Medical Director of the Neuro-Intensive Care Unit at Presbyterian_University Hospital. Dr. Crippen’s clinical responsibilities include bedside and didactic teaching of critical care fellows, neurosurgical and neurological house staff, medical students and nursing staff. When not pursuing clinical duties, Dr. Crippen spends a lot of time on the Internet, plays guitar withrock band The CODES, rides one of three vintage 70′s BMW Airhead motorcycles and campaigns a 600 cc superbike on the racing circuits of several area racetracks.
