Ken
I am eager to learn. Do you mean needed for diagnosis or therapy? Therapy -
undoubtedly. Diagnosis - please provide references for my edification,
particularly those which compare surgeons and emergency physicians with
objective outcome measures.

1.  Because over the last 30 years surgeons have abdicated from the care of
the  emergency surgical patient.  &

This has not been the experience of the vast majority of the hospitals  
around the world

2. Because it's cheaper to have one resuscitation area in a  hospital.

What are you talking about?   A resuscitation area is a  resuscitation area.

and the person who needs resuscitating after major trauma  really needs a 
surgeon, at least in the eyes and experience of virtually every  evaluation
which 
has occurred during the past 30 years.
