In the second episode of a two-part series, Dr. Mattox shares his insights and thoughts on hot research topics in trauma in need of investigation. Additionally, he helps us to envision what acute trauma management may look like in the future, while also sharing with us how his book (and one of my ALL-TIME fave surgery books!), Top Knife, came into being. From lessons learned to lessons in need of learning, Dr. Mattox has all of the bases (and basics) covered.
