Flatline to Lifeline With Dr. Long
Consider a world where increasing survival rates in patients typically deemed dead on arrival could be the norm. Is dead actually dead? Is it an assumption or a fact? In Flatline to Lifeline we explore the very real potential for survival within the medical field of trauma and near-death experiences.
During his 50-year career, Dr. Long and his team radically altered the approach to trauma care by applying simple principles in profound ways. We hope to educate the general public and inspire medical practices worldwide to acknowledge and adopt these life-saving approaches to trauma care, because when the need is greatest for the patient, saving time saves lives.
