In an instant, trauma changes everything.

In this episode of Wellness Musketeers, co-hosts "Aussie" Mike James and interviewer David Liss is joined by two leading experts: trauma surgeon Dr. Babak Sarani and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Marc Chodos of George Washington University Hospital. Together, they take you inside the trauma care system — from emergency scenes to operating rooms — and reveal why trauma is often a preventable public health crisis, not just a random accident.

🩺 What you’ll learn:

  • What happens during the critical "golden hour" after serious injury
  • Why most trauma is preventable — and how simple steps save lives
  • How battlefield medicine revolutionized modern trauma care
  • What patients, caregivers, and families should know before an emergency ever happens

This episode is packed with real-world insights for anyone who drives, parents, cares for aging loved ones — or simply wants to understand how trauma medicine works when seconds matter most.
