An Intimate Look At What Goes On Inside A Trauma Center

My guest is the author of “All Bleeding Stops: Life and Death in the Trauma Unit.” And he says that a good trauma surgeon must be a conductor presiding over an orchestra of healthcare providers as their patients cling to life by a thread. They are also a steely quarterback who can’t be rattled when they throw an interception—lingering on a past failure would only ruin their ability to care for the next patient, and the next. They have an encyclopedic knowledge of medical science and are practiced in the art of instinctively reacting to whatever emergency comes flying at them on a stretcher, in addition to doing anything they can to comfort patients’ distraught families and friends. https://www.amazon.com/stores/Stephen-M.-Cohn/author/B0065KXVLY?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=truehttp://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show
