Description
All Bleeding Stops gives readers an intimate look at what goes on inside a trauma center, highlighting injuries sustained in car crashes, shootings, and stabbings--basically anything bleeding, obstructed, or perforated. Having lived and breathed trauma for four decades, Dr. Cohn is an ideal guide to demystify the role of the trauma surgeon and their place in a hospital. He pulls back the curtain to clarify such questions as:
- What exactly is a trauma surgeon, and what does one do?
- How does a trauma center function, and what really goes on in the operating room?
- How do you mold a medical student into a surgeon who can stay cool and act decisively when a patient's life hangs in the balance?

"Dr. Cohn welcomes the reader into the rarefied world of the trauma surgeon, a world filled with high drama, elation, and pathos. He skillfully weaves numerous tales from his storied career with thoughtful discussions of public health, public policy, and ethical issues. The book will interest everyone who enjoys fast-paced stories of surgical derring-do told in the context of the complex social and political questions of the day."--William Schecter, M.D., FACS, Professor of Clinical Surgery, Emeritus, University of California, San Francisco
