"TRAUMA is Dr. Cole's harrowing account of his life spent in the ER and on the battlegrounds, fighting to save lives. In addition to his gripping stories of treating victims of gunshot wounds, stabbings, attempted suicides, flesh-eating bacteria, car crashes, industrial accidents, murder, and war, the book also covers the years during Cole's residency training when he was faced with 120-hour work weeks, excessive sleep deprivation, and the pressures of having to manage people dying of traumatic injury, often with little support. Unlike the authors of other medical memoirs, Cole trained to be a surgeon in the military and served as a physician member of a Marine Corps reconnaissance unit, United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), and on a Navy Reserve SEAL team. From treating war casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq to his experiences as a civilian trauma surgeon treating alcoholics, drug addicts, criminals, and the mentally deranged, TRAUMA is an intense look at one man's commitment to his country and to those most desperately in need of aid"--… (més)

This medical memoir by Dr. James Cole drops you into the hectic and unpredictable life of a trauma surgeon. What the interns and first year residents endure to get through training takes dedication and stamina. Honestly, I don't know how anyone endures the long hours and work conditions but, thank goodness people like Dr. Cole persevere.
This is a fast paced and realistic accounting. While I can't abide looking at graphic images of surgery or trauma when watching medical dramas, I could read this - with the exception of cardic section. That was my real squeamish point in the book, even though other injuries such as a stabbing with a screwdriver, a severe burn patient and gunshots wounds were written in great detail.

Each chapter takes on a different medical emergency. The crossbow incident was both interesting and sad. His time spent with Navy SEALS and his deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan were also interesting to me.

Heart-felt book describing James Cole's demanding and often grueling life as an emergency surgeon in and out of military service. Dr. Cole is a man who excels at physical, mental and surgical challenges and benefits greatly from all of them. He has provided top-notch, life-saving urgent surgical care in both state-of-the-art environments, and in the less than ideal conditions working in operating tents and Quonset huts in Afghanistan and Iraq. He has a deeply strong commitment to doing his utmost to save lives but has always felt a particularly special connection to the military; serving for many years healing and saving those who protect the US by
putting themselves in harm's way.

I found the descriptions of the patients and surgeries compelling but would have liked to see more about how his wife and children managed and coped with his professional and military demands and long absences. ( )
