Dr. David King (trauma and acute care surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital, Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, and Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army) discusses: - What combat surgery in an austere environment can look like. - How his experiences in combat and stateside have driven research efforts to develop novel ways to attack massive hemorrhage, such as with ResQFoam. - How the Boston Marathon bombing showed him that we don't need to convince good people to act and do good things. - Thoughts on the applicability and limitations of REBOA.   http://www.arsenalmedical.com/foam-system-acute-hemorrhage Follow Dr. King on Twitter @GeococyxVelox
