l am not trying to underestimate any trauma surgeon at all. l can imagine
just how extended their knowledge is, but presuming that critical care
surgeon can deal with acute MI as good as with surgical conditions, then we
should let the surgeons treat every disease there is. and by no chance any
non-surgical physician can know about iniciative trauma managment as much as
surgeon can know about non-surgical conditions.
and the fact that EM physicians are dealing with trauma patients every day
and the fact that they actualy went to med school and residency where they
had subject such as surgery, critical care, anesthesiology....means nothing
because after all they are not the all mighty surgeons.

PS.please don't interpret this as a attack on surgeons, because l realy
admire to them,because all the significant and challenging job they are
