vents necessitating a trauma surgeon can range from a serious car accident to a gunshot wound. They are life-threatening because those injuries could affect internal organs. Immediate treatment is necessary by a doctor specially trained to rapidly assess and make decisions about what to do. Trauma surgeons must have confidence in their decisions since they often work with incomplete information. A trauma surgeon must also think linearly. While assessing a patient, the surgeon treats wounds and injuries in a particular order. Bleeding is stopped first. Next, any potential threat of contamination from open wounds is eliminated. Then a decision about surgery has to be made. Is surgery immediately called for, or is the patient stable enough to transport to intensive care for further treatment and observation? The trauma surgeon must treat injuries while simultaneously thinking three or four steps ahead. Saving a life and preventing permanent damage are the primary objectives. A misstep could be costly.
Happily married, Dr. Jones enjoys music, fitness, and auto mechanics in his spare time.
