TRAUMA is Dr. Coles harrowing account of his life spent in the ER and on the battlegrounds  fighting to save lives. In addition to his gripping stories of treating victims of gunshot wounds  stabbings  attempted suicides  flesh-eating bacteria  car crashes  industrial accidents  murder  and war  the book also covers the years during Coles residency training when he was faced with 120-hour work weeks  excessive sleep deprivation  and the pressures of having to manage people dying of traumatic injury  often with little support. Unlike the authors of other medical memoirs  Cole trained to be a surgeon in the military and served as a physician member of a Marine Corps reconnaissance unit  United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)  and on a Navy Reserve SEAL team. From treating war casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq to his experiences as a civilian trauma surgeon treating alcoholics  drug addicts  criminals  and the mentally deranged  TRAUMA is an intense look at one mans commitment to his country and to those most desperately in need of aid.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964840210485,"sku":"ByrdShop_031255222X","price":26.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312552220.jpg?v=1770482228","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/trauma-my-life-as-an-emergency-surgeon","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
