Title: A blast from the distant past!
Review: A really entertaining book, showing some of the pioneers in the trauma medicine field, written in an unusually entertaining fashion- the book had me checking to make certain it was not a work of fiction! While it focuses on the work of one doctor, the methods that were used previous to his work are more frightening than most other books! (when treating an accident victem, there was not much that could be done except waiting by the roadside for the victim to expire and record the time of death) And, as with many pioneer books, the ideas that were considered and thrown out, such as the idea of putting trauma wards onto tractor trailers and shuttling them about the country going to patients as an oversized ambulance. Scary to see how far we have come in only 20 years!
