“Save My Life: Boston Trauma” Continues Sunday, August 16th at 10:00 PM/ET on ABC

From the producers of critically-acclaimed “Hopkins, “Boston Med,” and “NY Med,” comes “Save My Life: Boston Trauma,” an adrenaline-packed series that follows trauma cases from the actual scene of unimaginable accidents. In this six-part series, viewers will accompany top tier trauma teams inside the emergency rooms and operating rooms of some of the nation’s most prestigious hospitals including the Boston Medical Center, Massachusetts General, and Brigham and Women’s. Lives that could be lost or traumatically damaged in lesser hands at less renowned medical centers are saved through feats of skill and commitment. Some cases begin with the first responders of Boston’s EMS who distinguished themselves at the Boston Marathon bombing more than two years ago. For those needing treatment, one thing is certain, Boston offers some of the best medical care available anywhere. “Save My Life: Boston Trauma,” airs SUNDAY, August 16th at 10:00 PM/ET (10:00-11:00 pm) on the ABC Television Network.

In episode five, a young woman stumbles onto the tracks just as a commuter train pulls in to the station. Rescuers extricate her only to discover that this isn’t the first time they’ve met. Also, a man who has been stabbed begs his doctors not to operate when they seek to repair internal injuries. He calls mom to tell her his news, but she thinks he's playing a prank.

Elsewhere, a man is visiting his daughter in the hospital is wracked by escalating chest pain that he has been dismissing as just an extreme case of heartburn. Luckily, world-class interventional cardiologists are stationed in the building and in minutes they are able to clear a blockage from his coronary arteries that would have proved fatal.

Finally, a former college basketball player forgets his keys and falls from a balcony trying to gain access to his apartment. While he’s physically fine, he has amnesia about the events that put him in the hospital and on the road to a long recovery.
