I, too, was a patient at Shock Trauma. I spent only a week there despite 11 broken ribs, 2 broken vertebrae, punctured lung, lacerated liver, broken collar bone, torn ligament in the shoulder and a torn rotator cuff!!! If was not even one of the worst but got the best treatment!!! The didn’t just care for me, they cared for me! Thanks for all you do!

I use to live in Baltimore and k ow 3 people that are alive today because of shock trauma. Back as far as 1984 for the first friend. The men and women that work there are very special people. I wish we had something even close in Ft Myers FL but I don’t think our trauma center comes even close!

This is an amazing story/pictures. IT shows people what nurses/doctors/emts/firefighters go through on a daily basis.
I am a firefighter/training to be certed in EMT, and this story is now saved to my computer as a “hey, people need you, never give up.” reminder.
Thank You. God Bless.

What a great way for me to see into the world my daughter enters each day. When she announced to me she was going to be a nurse one of the prouder days of my life was the day she graduated as one. The opportunity she has to work and learn from some of the most talented group of medical professionalsd in the world is just what any father would want for his kid. The incredible medical expertise and angelic care shown to whomever enters, regardless of the reason, only serves the community of Baltimore well, with pride and distiction. Thank you all at RACST for what you do…

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see inside STC. I was a patient there 5 years ago, brought in by Trooper 1, after being run over by a dump truck.
I was unconcious in the TRU, so I don’t remember it, but I do remember and am well aware that I am here because of the caring and dedicated people at STC.

My Daughter is a Shock Trauma Nurse with TRU. So good to get an inside view of her work life. Very impressive unit and outstanding professionals. Thanks for the great coverage.

I was in an MVA in December 2005 and was transported via MSP helicopter to Baltimore Shock Trauma with a head injury. It was an experience that changed my life. After recovering, I became an EMT and then graduated in January 2011 with my RN. Thank you to everyone in the TRU for what you do and inspiring me to pursue nursing.

I work both MD EMS and at UMMC/STC….unless you have worked here/been a pt here, you will never understand the true dedication of this staff…R. Adams Cauley Shock Trauma Center is a 1-of-a-kind hospital that is dedicated to only Trauma patients…they do it right and they do it best! Shock Trauma is where our military go for training before deploying overseas…if you ever get the chance to tour it, you wont be disappointed. Thank you for the recognition, these guys rarely get the recognition publicly that they deserve. Stay Safe all!

The Shock Trauma Hospital has long been a part of my life as my daughter Meghan has worked there for years. What an outstanding group of medical professionals. We should all applaud them and all the work they do so selflessly. God bless them all!
