If you're banged up in a car crash somewhere in the Free State or if you're shot on the street, chances are you'll be transported quickly -- maybe by helicopter -- to the R Adams Cowley Shock-Trauma Center at the University of Maryland. The sixty-five hundred badly injured patients admitted there each year get the highest level of trauma care in the U.S. But even though it's the heart of Maryland's exceptional Emergency Medical Services, the Shock-Trauma center has struggled for money. That changed this week. We talk with Shock-Trauma's top doctor, Dr. Thomas Scalea, about how the center's funding situation has improved dramatically.Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?

Tom's guest today is Dr. Thomas Scalea. He's a professor of Trauma Surgery and Director of the Program in Trauma at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. And for the past 25 years, he's been Physician-in-Chief of the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC). For Dr. Scalea and his staff, the terrible numbers of homicide and non-fatal shootings that have plagued Baltimore for many years are not abstractions. Many of the victims of these shootings are rushed to Shock Trauma right after they are attacked. Many are saved because of a variety of techniques developed at Shock Trauma to treat serious injuries, techniques that have been adopted all over the world. Dr. Scalea and his team have also cared for tens of thousands of people injured in car accidents and falls. He has traveled to Haiti and China to help earthquake victims, he has trained thousands of US Air Force personnel, and he has worked with military physicians in Afghanistan. We welcome your questions or comments for Dr. Scalea. Dr. Thomas Scalea joins us on Zoom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
