I think your understanding of a what a trauma CRITICAL CARE surgeon is 
capable of,  is poor...............

could you be kind to say who exacly is a part of your hospital's trauma
team, besides nurses?what is then role of emergency medicine phyicians,
becouse it is after all their department. l'm not saying that incapable
staff should treat the patient, but just that EM docs should be engaged in
treatment, and even play very significant role in hole process, at least
while the patient is on their department. not all trauma patients are
just trauma patients,and they might be having a coronary artery disease,
whose acute onset caused trauma in the first place. and also airway
managment and other non-surgical measures that politraumatized patient
needs.l'm just saying that there's more to treating trauma then just
operating.
