[News] Lawmaker Says State Trauma System Underfunded
From the Clarion-Ledger:
The state’s trauma-care system, designed to get victims of traumatic injuries to the right hospital as quickly as possible to minimize death and disabilities, needs major funding, a key lawmaker says.
“I’m concerned that many trauma patients are being immediately shifted to the University Medical Center ... When they are appropriately Level 2 or Level 3, it could be handled at hospitals outside (UMC),” said Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee Chairman Alan Nunnelee. “The program is significantly underfunded.”

I love all the details of trauma surgeon, the rapid diagnosis and quick thinking, and the whole scale of anatomy, but the nervous system and brain seem so interesting as well and i would also enjoy being a neurosurgeon.Tina
