Trauma Surgery

Trauma surgeons are physicians who have completed residency training in general surgery and fellowship training in trauma or surgical critical care. The trauma surgeon is responsible for the initial resuscitation and stabilisation of the patient, as well as ongoing evaluation. The attending trauma surgeon also leads the trauma team, which typically includes nurses, resident physicians, and support staff.

Owen Hunt described trauma as a team sport, you can't always be the hero.
