“Save My Life: Boston Trauma” Continues Sunday, July 26th 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, JULY 26th at 10:00 PM/ET (10:00-11:00 pm) on the ABC Television Network.
In episode two, a buddy’s Go-Pro helmet camera captures the moment when an off duty firefighter is involved in a horrific motorcycle accident. Waiting for his patient to be medevaced to the helipad on the roof of Massachusetts General Hospital is Dr. David Fink, one of the nation’s top trauma surgeons. Fink knows that time equals life and this patient is running out of both. The man’s family is counting on Fink to work his magic.
Also in this episode: a teenager at a church gathering decides to hide in the bell tower during a game of hide and seek. What she couldn’t know was that the floorboards would give way dropping her 25 feet on to a church pew; elsewhere, a man puts his arm through a glass window following an argument with his girlfriend and gets both stitches and relationship advice from a young doctor; outside the Boston Garden EMS personnel demonstrate tact and restraint when confronted by a spitting Bruins fan; and it takes the muscle of three orthopedic docs to get a volleyball player’s dislocated ankle back into place.
"We saw some things that we didn't even realize were possible," said executive producer Terence Wrong. "For example, a hand being re-attached and restored to full use after a traumatic incident or just a life being saved when the medical chances for a happy outcome were 1 in 100 at best."
