Google "R Adams Cowley."  

In high school, I read a book called "Shocktrauma" (Jon Franklin, Alan
Doelp; St. Martin's Press, 1980), which made a big impression on me at the
time, and probably subconsciously steered me to trauma.  It's a history of
MIEMSS and Baltimore Shocktrauma (the prototype North American Trauma
Center) with plenty of human interest melodrama thrown in.  The book is a
compilation of newspaper articles which won a Pulitzer for series
journalism.  Interesting (if dated) info on the Golden Hour, 911 systems,
helicopter EMS, and trauma surgery.  You can still find it on Amazon.

Hello list

I have been challenged by some students (EMT''s trained to become 
instructors). They are intrested in hearing about the origins of modern 
trauma care in the hands non-general surgeons and non-physicians, including 
prehospitaly. Does anybody have an intresting anacdote about the origins of 
modern trauma care and ATLS courses (besides the famous and true story about

the orthpead's plane crash in nebraska), or can give me a good and RELIABLE 
refrence to read?

Thank you all responders in advance,
Oded
