I run the Bloodless Medicine and Surgery program in a 775 bed trauma hospital. We have had several multiple trauma patients over the 14 years of this program's existence successfully treated without blood. I am attaching an article co-authored on the subject. Please do not hesitate to call me for further information. 201-996-2963
