We. Are. Back!!
After a (brief?!) hiatus, we are launching 2022 with a 2-part series with the one and only Dr. Ken Mattox. In this episode, Dr. Mattox shares with us his thoughts on what the modern general surgeon should look like and how we as surgeons differ from our medicine counterparts. Additionally, we review the history of modern trauma resuscitation, the paradigm shifts that have occurred as it pertains to permissive hypotension, as well as the technological advances that have occurred over the last century that have improved care of the critically injured patient. This is an episode not to be missed!
