Body Trauma
A Writer’s Guide to Wounds and Injuries
David W. Page, M.D., FACS

Surgeon and trauma expert Dr. David W. Page is a writer’s best friend. Whether a writer’s fictional character is a detective investigating a crime or a doctor racing down the hallways toward an emergency - this writer’s tool explains what happens to body organs and bones maimed by accident or intent and the small window of opportunity for emergency treatment. Writers will put their characters in harm’s way and mistreat them to within an inch of their fictional lives.
