911

Well, Mike is doing the trauma marathon for the next 2 weeks! ( He has 4 nights OFF in the next 14!!! ) And he has seen too many ambulances bringing patients into the trauma bay! He has had quite the selection of patients coming in, 3 young guys in a car accident, 2 skiiers who collided with trees (separate incidences), etc. Unfortunately, he did not have HIS camera, because his wife has pretty much taken it over. But his training in Miami came in handy when on Sunday night there was a shooting downtown. The patient was rushed into the Foothills trauma center at 1130pm with a gunshot wound to the abdomin. Mike was the attending on and cracked open the patients chest in the ER...rushed him up to the OR and continued to work on the patient for 8 hours. Yes, 8 hours! Unfortunately the outcome was not great as his patient died at 730am and thus became the 22 murder victim of the year. Shooter is still at large. Mike worked hard, and thought he was going to pull through, but he just lost way too much blood. Great going Mike! Keep up the great work!
