Ken,
The very fact that one of our own pre-hospital providers thought that the only benefit of an ACS VRC visit and trauma center verification was "bragging rights" tend to make me believe that we still have a very long way to go...........

I had thought that our trauma systems in this country were becoming quite  
mature.   Actually, as an collaborative integrated network, the ACS  
verified trauma centers (OF ALL LEVELS) of this country are among the best  
examples of system wide collaboration, for trauma, acute care surgery, disaster  
response, and surgical critical care.     
 
I had thought that I had some rudimentary knowledge of the demonstrated  
commitment to the care of the wounded warrior and to the injured and critical  
care needs in the civilian world.    However, with what I have  read in the 
past 24 hours on this web site, I have read information, that if  true, 
tremendously disappoints me.   
 
1.   The surgeons on this list should have known better and  have shown 
commitment along with their hospitals
 
2.    Disappoinntment from the fact that our hospitals are  not more honest 
and mature in trauma care
 
3.    Disappointed in that our local and national  politicians who talk 
about quality care do not see the forest for the  trees.
