BIG T Trauma Ep. 27: Is Vascular Trauma Care a Lost Art?
Episode 88
It’s 1:00 AM on a Saturday and a patient arrives with a gunshot wound and no distal pulses—who should hold the scalpel, Trauma or Vascular? In this episode of Big T Trauma, hosts Dr. Patrick Georgoff and Dr. Teddy Puzio are joined by vascular surgeon Dr. Brian Gilmore and dual-trained powerhouse Dr. Joe DuBose to debate this high-stakes turf war. We tackle the uncomfortable reality of declining vascular exposure in general surgery training and whether current "vascular expertise" standards are failing our patients. From the rise of endovascular technology to navigating institutional politics, our panel breaks down how to bridge the gap between specialties for better patient outcomes.
