Princess Diana - A Historic Case in Trauma Surgery

While we’re usually reaching far into the past on this show, this week’s episode will feature a discussion of the tragic death of Princess Diana.  We’ll focus on the details of the case from the standpoint of physicians doing trauma care in the modern day.  We’ll question as to whether the outcome might have changed given modern technology or different circumstances.  Though the general story is well known to many of us, this was the first time we, as emergency physicians, had really considered the details of this historic, albeit relatively recent and still compelling case.

Note: This episode was pre-recorded and released coincidentally hours in advance of the news that Queen Elizabeth II had died.   We feel the subject material discussed here is of merit but would also like to acknowledge the day's event and offer sympathies to our UK listeners.
