For all the awe-inspiring medical stories we might hear and the hospital dramas that dominate the ratings on television, most of us have no conception of the daily, Herculean efforts of trauma surgeons. All Bleeding Stops gives readers an intimate look at what goes on inside a trauma center, highlighting injuries sustained in car crashes, shootings, and stabbings—basically anything bleeding, obstructed, or perforated. Having lived and breathed trauma for four decades, Stephen Cohn, M.D., is an ideal guide to demystify the role of the trauma surgeon and their place in a hospital.
This book pulls back the curtain to clarify such questions as:
What exactly is a trauma surgeon, and what does one do?
How does a trauma center function, and what really goes on in the operating room?
How do you mold a medical student into a surgeon who can stay cool and act decisively when a patient’s life hangs in the balance?
All Bleeding Stops is a book that you will not be able to put down as Dr. Cohn tells tales from his career as a military surgeon in the U.S Army Medical Corp in Desert Storm and in trauma centers across the country including high-profile medical stories.
