response. yesterday we happened to be having our annual or normal credentialling review by the american college of surgeons verification review team. so happened that we had seven trauma surgeons here when we got the first call about the mass casualty event. which is great, except a trauma surgeon without this and without all the staff is really just a set of hands. we re useless. so how did this come about? so i have to say that, you know, we in south texas are the beneficiaries of an extremely sophisticated trauma system that is basically the southwest texas regional advisory council for trauma or strac. strac was generated neil: we re going to continue monitoring this, the latest on those that survived this
