Past Medical History: The Story of EMSOutrunning DeathIn the late 1960s, trauma surgeon R. Adams Cowley became obsessed with a question that refused to leave him alone: why were patients still dying even when everything seemed to be done “right”?By tracking cases minute by minute, Cowley uncovered a brutal truth. The most lethal enemy in trauma care wasn’t always the injury itself, but the time lost before definitive treatment. Quiet injuries were being missed. Patients were waiting. And once shock took hold, even perfect care often came too late. In this episode, we follow Cowley from his early years in thoraci...

Past Medical History: The Story of EMSAfter The Guns Fall SilentWhen the guns stop firing, the dying doesn’t end.In this episode, we follow the story of a wounded Union lieutenant left to perish on the field at Second Bull Run. He is abandoned not by fate, but by a broken system. That single tragedy may have become the turning point for a quiet, analytical surgeon named Jonathan Letterman. From the coal-smoked streets of Pennsylvania to the cholera-ridden wards of Philadelphia, Letterman grows into the one mind capable of diagnosing the Army itself. And on the battlefields of Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg, he bui...
