21 No Tricks Simply count # of F s in the MAROON background on the next slide There is a short sentence on the next slide which you will be asked to read

22 No Tricks Simply count # of F s Below FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

23 No Tricks How many F s did you count -Two -Four -Six -Eight -Three -Five -Seven -Nine

24 No Tricks How many F s did you count Do you wish to see it again? Would you like to pole the audience? Would you like to remove 50% of the answers?

25 Ok, we have removed four INCORRECT answers, the correct one is below -Three -Four - Five -Six

26 No Tricks Simply count # of F s Below FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE- SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF- IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

27 Ok, how many F s did you count -Three -Four - Five -Six

28 The Correct Answer Is 6

29 FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

30 Learning from PAST successes and errors It is all about FOCUS, concentration, bias, vision, values, & background

31 First: Words about trauma codes & classifications

32 3-5 Levels of Severity 1. Minor 2. Mild 3. Moderate 4. Severe 5. Terrible

33 This talk is about the SEVERE & TERRIBLE clinical conditions

35 Many names for Centers Level 1-3 Level 1-5 Rural Military University

36 Common to ALL Centers Commitment Surgeons Operating sites Communications Transfer Capability

37 Third: Over Riding Governing Principles

38 Over Riding Governing Principles 1. Each of us will be a patient 2. 1 doctor :: 1 patient 3. Consultants do not Rx, they advise 4. Tests & Rx Data Based 5. Standardize Rx & outcomes

39 Over Riding Governing Principles 6. Tests & Rx based on knowledge of anatomy & pathophysiology 7. Review all decisions & outcomes 8. Provide to patient = BEST

40 Fourth: TURF Questions
