Here’s why 2 doctors who treated Pulse victims oppose more trauma centers

Trauma center doctors argue that trauma care does not work like the free market. People who have suffered a serious injury don’t have time to shop around. They need high-quality treatment and they need it quickly, generally within one hour of being injured. Central to meeting both of those goals is ensuring trauma doctors treat a large number of patients each year, said Dr. Gary Parrish, who also was working at Orlando Regional Medical Center the night of the Pulse shooting.
