Welcome to “The Cutting Edge,” Doctors, their stories, and perspectives help you understand leading-edge medical and health issues, trends, and technologies. In each episode, we will provide you with information and perspectives to empower you to be a better patient, make better healthcare decisions, and understand policies that affect your daily life. Our premier episode is a first of a multipart series on traumatic injury and the evolution of trauma care in the United States and around the world. In these episodes, you will learn the greatest source of traumatic injury and death in the United States (It's not what you think it is), and lessons learned from military care that makes everyone in this country safer every day. Your hosts are Dr. Marc Chodos and Dr. Babak Sarani. Dr. Marc Chodos is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in the foot and ankle with professional interests including sports medicine, joint replacement, and trauma. Dr. Babak Sarani is a trauma surgeon and founder and chief of the Center for Trauma and Critical Care at GWU Hospital. Your co-host, Dave Liss, is a Washington, DC-based journalist and business consultant. At the top of the podcast, Dr. Chodos will provide an overview of what you can expect to learn during these recordings.
