Allen Belshaw and Mark Hermacinski are amazing! They are both general surgeons who were at YVMC and saved Michele. They are also trauma surgeons. In level 1 trauma centers the trauma surgeons and trauma chiefs are general surgeons, just like Mark and Allen. YVMC is only a level 4 trauma center, but they do have residency trained and board certified trauma surgeons. I can't say enough how impressed the docs at Denver Health are with our surgeons. Stevie D. and I were just talking that people here (Denver Health)are still talking about what a job they did on Michele. Anyway, Steamboat, we have a top notch facility with the best docs anywhere. Stevie D. and all of us are so thankful and grateful to everyone involved thus far...
This is a prime example of why the State of Colorado has a Trauma System. This system assures patients that they will receive the best trauma care possible. It starts with the field providers and continues clear to the Level 1 trauma centers. Although I never met Michele before Wednesday... this is the reason working in EMS is so rewarding.... friends helping friends.
