"You have to be logical in your approach and then afterwards when you're talking to the family, that's when it touches you." That's how LSU trauma surgeon Dr. Cuthbert Simpkins describes dealing with trauma situations on a daily basis. Saving the lives of people who might not otherwise have another chance is why we chose the LSU trauma staff as our Arklatex Miracle Workers report.

The LSU Trauma center staff sees between 1,200 to 1,800 patients from some of the most devastating circumstances every year. Circumstances that the hospital is now trying to keep from happening again.

Because a lot of the people who come into the lsu trauma center are victims of stabbings or other violent offenses, the staff is working on a program to work with these people, to help keep them from beingout in those situations again.
