Trauma Surgeon: 30 seconds could save your life (MU Health Care)

A University of Missouri trauma surgeon is urging hunters to be safe in the woods.

“As an avid hunter and outdoorsman myself, I always look forward to deer season,” said Jacob Quick, M.D., a trauma surgeon at University Hospital’s Frank L. Mitchell Jr., MD, Trauma Center and assistant professor of acute care surgery at the MU School of Medicine. “However, as a trauma surgeon, I’m also part of a team that treats 40 to 50 patients with hunting-related injuries every year. Contrary to what many people believe, most of the hunting injuries we see in central Missouri are not caused by gunshot wounds, but rather falls from tree stands.”
